A set of techniques for well treatment aimed to enhance oil recovery are considered in the present study. These are based on the application of elastic waves of various types (dilation-wave, vibro-wave, or other acoustically induced effects). In such a context, a new technique is proposed to predict the effectiveness of the elastic-wave well treatment using the rank distribution according to Zipf’s law. It is revealed that, when the results of elastic wave well treatments are analyzed, groups of
