发明名称 SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COUPLING ACOUSTIC AND/OR ULTRASONIC ENERGY TO A FLUID STREAM COMPRISING AN EMULSION OR A MICROEMULSION TO ENHANCE PRODUCTION OF HYDROCARBONS FROM OIL AND/OR GAS WELLS
摘要 Systems and methods for enhancing production of hydrocarbons from oil and/or gas wells are generally described. In some cases, an oil and/or gas well may contain deposits of impurities (e.g., scale, migrating fines, paraffin, and/or asphaltenes) that obstruct the flow of fluid through the well and thereby limit the recovery of hydrocarbons from the well. A method of enhancing oil and/or gas recovery from such a well may comprise coupling acoustic and/or ultrasonic energy to a fluid stream comprising an emulsion or a microemulsion being injected into the well. The coupled flow of an emulsion or a microemulsion may cause the deposits to break up and be removed from the well, thus enhancing fluid flow through the well and increasing the productivity of the well.
