Oil Field StimulationRussian oil field operators, have known for many years that low frequency seismic events increase the yield of oil fields. These events could be earthquakes or they could be trains travelling over the top of an oil reservoir.Nobody really knows why this happens, but there are several theories. Large arrays of Portland Horns™ could be deployed in such a way as to focus sufficient acoustic energy deep inside an oil reservoir. The Portland Horn™s would provide a dedicated source of stimulation, which can be turned on and off to order. The acoustic energy produced by The Portland Horn™ can be directed and focused to points of interest within the oil reservoirs. |
