ABSTRACT:
Various methods are shown as to the use of sonic wave generators, or sonic wave generators and modulators as to treating in the fracturing of, the acidizing of or the driving of fluids such as oil, gas or other fluids from subsurface fluid containing strata or formations. The use is shown of gaseous fluids being contained or injected within these subsurface fluid containing strata or formations for the reception of or localizing of these sonic waves of controllable or variable characteristics in this treating of or driving of fluids from these fluid containing subsurface strata or formations. The transporting of heat by these sonic waves into these fluid containing subsurface formations may be a contributing factor in the total effectiveness of these methods of treating or the driving and the subsequent recovery of fluids therefrom. These various and controllable sonic waves may be utilized as a source of seismic energy for delineating the type of fluid or formation existing in the subsurface strata or formations adjacent to or surrounding existing or drilled well bores.
