Sonic oil recovery apparatus for use in a well

摘要

A sonic oil recovery apparatus for use in a well having a casing therein, has an injector tubing adapted to extend within an interior of the casing and a resonator tube affixed to or within the injector tubing. The resonator tube having an interior flow pathway so as to allow a fluid to flow therethrough from the injector tubing. The resonator tube is suitable for transmitting an acoustic signal of greater than 30 Hz therefrom. The resonator tube has at least two orifice plates formed therein. The orifice plates include an upper orifice plate and a lower orifice plate. The orifice of the upper orifice plate has a diameter greater than a diameter of the lower orifice plate.
