Abstract

The authors studied effects of wave frequency and power output on recovery of oil in an ultrasonic stimulated waterflooding process. A series of ultrasonic stimulated waterflooding experiments was conducted on conventional sand pack saturated with vaseline and kerosene (to represent oil). The frequency and power output of waves were varied in each experiment and the effects on oil recovery were studied. Increasing power output (intensity) of waves increased oil recovery. On the other hand, increasing frequency of the waves accelerates recovery of oil; however, the total amount of oil recovered was almost the same for waves of different frequencies. In addition to that effect of increasing power outputs of the waves on increasing the temperature was investigated.
