- More about Vibrational and Acoustic Enhanced Oil Recovery
Acoustic and vibrational enhanced oil recovery techniques are important for making fossil fuels more sustainable and less hazardous to the environment. In the 1980s, they noticed that sonic energy applied to soil increases the rate of hydrocarbon removal and decreases the percentage of residual hydrocarbons. This outstanding new volume validates results of vibro-stimulation tests for enhanced oil recovery, using powerful surface-based vibro-seismic sources.

Oil and gas continue to be a significant energy source worldwide, and innovative techniques like these, which are more environmentally friendly and cost-effective than many previous development and production technologies, are crucial for making fossil fuels more sustainable and less harmful to the environment.
The authors made a groundbreaking discovery in the 1970s through their research in Russia and the United States. They observed a significant increase in oil rate production in the days following an earthquake, particularly when the earthquake's epicenter was near an oil-producing field. This observation led to a decade-long study focused on utilizing acoustic/vibrational energy for enhanced oil recovery after reservoirs had been waterflooded.
In the 1980s, they further observed that applying sonic energy to soil increased the rate of hydrocarbon removal and reduced the percentage of residual hydrocarbons. Over the past several decades, various seismic vibration techniques have been employed in different countries, resulting in incremental oil production.
This remarkable new volume substantiates the outcomes of vibro-stimulation tests for enhanced oil recovery, employing powerful surface-based vibro-seismic sources. It demonstrates that when vibro-energy is applied to the porous medium containing oil, the rate of displacement of oil by water increases, while the percentage of nonrecoverable residual oil decreases.
The audience for this book includes petroleum engineers, chemical engineers, earthquake and energy engineers, environmental engineers, geotechnical engineers, mining and geological engineers, sustainability engineers, and physicists.
