Determination of the optimal fluid pulses for enhancement of reservoir permeability and productivity

摘要

A method of oscillating a pressure in a borehole is provided that includes determining a hydraulic diffusivity, using injection tests, in a borehole, calculating a pressure field using a programmed computer at a proximal distance to the borehole using a first forced oscillation result in a porous media, calculating a flow rate at the proximal distance from the borehole by multiplying a gradient of the pressure field by a measured permeability and dividing by a viscosity of a fluid, computing, using the programmed computer, a volumetrically averaged flow rate by integrating a square of the flow rate over a volume around the borehole, outputting a value of an angular frequency for which the volumetrically-averaged flow rate is maximum, and operating a pump at a second forced oscillation according to the angular frequency on the fluid.
