ABSTRACT:
High level sonic energy is introduced at the head of an oil well casing and transmitted through the gaseous column formed in the casing down to oil bearing strata from which oil is being extracted. The sonic energy is transmitted into this strata either through the opening in the bottom of the casing and/or apertures in the casing wall, the sonic energy operating to heat the oil particles so as to reduce their viscosity and to induce the migration of oil particles from the oil bearing strata, as well as to clear the interstices of the formation of flow impeding particles, thereby augmenting the flow of oil in the well. The basic process is enhanced by heating the gas within the casing and/or pressurizing the gas.
