     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The invention relates to the field of oil recovery and, more specifically, to the recovery of oil using elastic vibration energy and with rather high efficiency can be applied for recovering of oil from depths of over 2000 meters. 
     2. Description of the Related Art 
     The device for pulse impact on oil formation (pool) with a downhole apparatus is known with working idea based on ‘electro-hydraulic effect’ allowing to increase productivity of oil pool treatment. 
     In this device downhole apparatus is designed as empty cylindrical body and contains a charger, a unit of energy storage capacitors, a discharge unit with two electrodes and a trigger. 
     The major disadvantages of this device are: big size of a downhole apparatus (roughly diameter is 250 mm, length—3500 mm) and low energy (not more than 100-300 J) of single discharge of energy storage capacities. 
     The use of a downhole apparatus with such energy of discharge does not allow to work with depths of over 1500-2000 meters, while vast majority of wells e.g. in Western Siberia of Russian Federation and in Canada have oil formations (pools) on depths of 2500-2700 meters and more and its size makes difficult to work in pipe casing with reduced diameter with varying configuration of sections of pool and limits its move to other wells. 
     The second (and most important) disadvantage of this device is caused by ‘negative constructive features’ of a unit of energy storage capacitors. 
     Normally for increase of discharge energy, capacity energy is increased as discharge energy is equal to half of multiplication of capacity and squared voltage applied. However this leads to considerable size increase of downhole apparatus and makes more difficult use of it. 
     ‘Negative constructive features’ of the unit of energy storage capacitors of the known device are that capacities both when charging and discharging have parallel electrical connection. Accordingly this approach does not allow to have discharging voltage more than 20 kW (limited by cable working capacity and safety requirements) and does not allow to obtain energy of discharge more than 1 kJ, which is however required (see Paschen curve in the analogue in  FIG. 1 ) for efficient work on considerable depths. 
     There is no direct note for such (parallel) connection of charging capacities in the description of known invention but available information (see L.la.Popilov ‘Electro-physical and electro-chemical treatment of materials’ chapter 13 ‘Electro-hydraulic treatment’ pp. 265-270,  FIGS. 1 ,  2  and  3 ) let us claim that authors of this invention used exactly this well-known and commonly used method for electrical connection of charging capacitors. 
     Besides, use in this device of electro-hydraulic effect causing elastic vibrations of only low frequency in fluent fraction of oil pool providing treatment of reservoir zone but does not allow to treat with vibration well bottom zone (as high frequency vibration is required), which could increase productivity of treated oil pool. Given disadvantage should be also associated with the method for oil recovery with use of this devise. 
     It is also known the method of oil recovery using energy of high frequency vibration generated by source of acoustic vibrations [2]. 
     The use of elastic vibrations of high frequency does not prevent from placing of downhole apparatus on depth of 2700 meters but does not allow impacting on critical area of the well (as low frequency vibration is required), that could increase to greater extent productivity of treated oil pool. 
     This is the major disadvantage of described method of oil recovery and accordingly of the device used for it. 
     Apart from this, it is know the method for oil discovery using energy of elastic vibration of two frequencies in the range of 10-60 kHz including placing in a well on the working depth of downhole apparatus, initiation of elastic vibrations of various frequencies followed by mainly multiple impact with elastic vibrations of various frequencies on oil pool. This method is realized with use of the device in which downhole apparatus is connected to aboveground power supply and contains one ultrasonic emitting piezoelectric transmitter having rather narrow gain-frequency characteristic and providing generation of elastic vibrations of high frequency on its resonance frequency. 
     However this assembly (device) and, accordingly, based on its use the method for oil recovery with impact of elastic vibration on oil pool, which in its technical essence is closet to the invention and is used as the prototype, have a range of major disadvantages. 
     First, non-linearity of porous environment containing fluid may be not sufficient for conversion of pulse emission of piezoelectric transmitter pulsation of low frequency. Besides, as maximum amplitude of high-frequency vibrations remains the same and in case of pulsation is 103 times less than high frequency, intensity of emission of low-frequency will be 106 times less than the one of high frequency, which is obviously not enough for having any impact on pool. So, the use of one piezoelectric transmitter in different options of its stimulation does not allow to obtain elastic vibration of low frequency. Therefore, the known method and the known device with use of piezoelectric transmitter (authors of the known invention mention only piezoelectric transmitter) do not provide treatment of required area of a well. 
     Second, proposed by the authors of known invention impact by elastic vibrations of low frequency in the range of 10-15 kHz and impact by elastic vibration of high frequency in the range above 44 kHz are not optimal for treatment of oil pool. 
     Third, the known device does not provide and the known method does not take into consideration simultaneous impact with elastic vibration of high and low frequency, which in some cases may be very helpful. 
     Due to disadvantages listed above, the known method and device can be described as ones having low technical capabilities, which dramatically reduce efficiency of treatment of oil pool and do not allow increasing its productivity to required level. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The task that should be solved with this invention is development of such a device and such a method of its use, which (with minimum possible size of downhole apparatus) allow to process oil recovery on depths below 2000 meters and efficiently impact on treated pool e.g. treating in its well bottom zone and reservoir zone with boundaries in 1.5-2 and 150-200 meters from the well accordingly.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
     The device for oil recovery with use of energy of elastic vibrations of high and low frequency includes (see  FIG. 1-3 ) two aboveground power supply units with control unit  1  and downhole apparatus  4  connected with cable  5  to power supply units  2  and  3 , designed as empty cylindrical body  6  and separated by partitions  7 ,  8  and  9  into hermetical modules  10 ,  11 ,  12  and  13 . Downhole apparatus  4  consists of source of high frequency elastic vibrations, which is connected to the power supply unit  2  and developed on the basis of magnetostrictive transducer, e.g. the one of circular type  14  and the source of low frequency elastic vibrations, developed on the basis of electro-pulse device. This electro-pulse device includes electrically connected in series charger  15 , unit  16  of capacitors  17  and discharge unit with electrodes  18 ,  19  and the trigger  20 , which may be designed e.g. as gas-filled discharger. 
     Unit  16  of capacitors is provided with two switching means  21 ,  22 , which are connected to control unit  1 , interconnected to power supply unit  3  and work automatically. First of them (equipped with switches  34 ) at relevant stages of work of downhole apparatus  4  provides (see  FIGS. 3 and 4 ) grouping of separated capacitors  17  in a single unit  16 . The second switching mean  22  (equipped with switches  33  and  35 ) at relevant stages of work of downhole apparatus  4  (together with switches  34  of first switching mean) provides in unit  16  of capacitors switching of separate capacitors  17  from parallel electrical connection ( FIGS. 3 and 4 ) to series connection and vise versa. The switching mean  22  is designed, mainly, on basis of gas-filled dischargers  23 , which together with switches  35  connect in series all energy storage capacitors  17 . 
     Modules  11  and  12  of downhole apparatus  4 , containing magnetostrictive transducer  14 , unit  16  of capacitors  17  and switching means  21  and  22  are filled with insulating material  24 , which is heat-resistant organosilicon fluid e.g. ‘Penta—TPMS-110’. These modules are filled with insulating fluent in the way that the module of downhole apparatus is filled with electro-isolating material in such a way that if downhole apparatus  4  is situated vertically all parts in this module are dipped into insulating material. At the same time in the module  12  there is some air cushion (shown but not noted in  FIG. 1 ), which volume is not less than 15% from volume of insulating fluid. Such insulating material and the option for filling of module  12  provide most favorable conditions for the work of parts mentioned above. 
     Module  13 , containing electrodes  18  and  19  interconnected accordingly with output of the unit  16  of the capacitors  17  and with the body  6  of downhole apparatus  4  is designed with four transparent windows  25  providing access in the apparatus of oil-saturated fluid  26  (liquid treated media), which fills the well  27 , which is provided with oil-well tubing  29  and oil pump with plunger  30 , which is connected to pumping jack  31  with flexible element (not noted) and oil bars  32 . 
     Below there are specific examples: production of low frequency elastic vibrations, production of high frequency elastic vibrations and realization of proposed method not excluding other ways of their execution in the claim of invention. 
     The laboratory research, allowed to determine workability of the proposed device of oil recovery and investigate claimed limitations for proposed method for oil recovering, was conducted with downhole apparatus (diameter 102 mm, length 3200 mm), which has been developed with the use of specifically produced energy storage capacitors (capacity 0.4-3 microfarad, working voltage from 10 to 20-30 kV) and circular magnetostrictive transducer (resonance frequency 24 kHz, intensity of emission 5 Wt/sm2), produced from the fusion 49K2F and having diameter of 84 mm and height of set of plates of 100 mm. The number of charging capacitors in the unit varied from two to six and part of capacitors before discharge were connected in groups of two capacitors. 
     First (see  FIG. 2 ), the downhole apparatus  4  e.g. using oil-well tubing  29  is pulled down in the well  27  filled with fluid  26  (if required, working fluent is poured in the well) and place it in the area of expected impact on an oil pool requiring relevant treatment e.g. on the depth of 2700 meters. Due to this, body of module  13  of the downhole apparatus  4  through the windows  25  is filled with fluid  26 . As a result electrodes  18  and  19  are completely deep into it. 
     Production of Low Frequency Elastic Vibrations (Option 1 Depth 2700 m) 
     Production of low frequency elastic vibrations is preceded with execution of the number of technological operations (regimes) interconnected (see  FIGS. 3 and 5 ) with grouping of separated capacitors in one unit including charging the unit of capacitors, switching of capacitors from one type of electrical connection to another and followed by discharge of the unit of capacitors done e.g. automatically which is more rational than manual control (which however is also possible). 
     Regime ‘Grouping of Charging Capacitors in One Unit’. 
     On the command from control unit  1  aboveground power supply unit  3  is connected to industrial electrical power grid (voltage 220 V, frequency 50 Hz) and switching means  21  and  22 , gas-filled dischargers  23  and trigger  20  are connected (not shown in figures) with the point of power supply unit  3 , which supplies working voltage of 220 V. As a result, electrical switches  33 ,  34  and  35  of switching means and make contacts (in  FIG. 3-6  are in bold) of gas-filled dischargers  23  and the trigger  20  are switched in initial (open) position. On second command from control unit  1  (done simultaneously or consequently) on switching means  21  and  22 , electrical switches  33 ,  34  and  35  connect six charging energy storage capacitors  17  included in the downhole apparatus  4  with electrical chain (attached to the body  6  of the downhole apparatus) of charger  15  providing (see  FIG. 3 ) their parallel electrical connection and completing their grouping in one unit  16 . All six charging capacitors  17  have the same technical characteristics (capacity—1.7 microfarad, working voltage—12.5 kV).
         It should be noted that the unit of charging capacitors^
           Is grouped from at least two capacitors   Is grouped, mainly, from even number of capacitors   Depending on number of capacitors included in the set of downhole apparatus and real working conditions of downhole apparatus, can be grouped from capacitors with the same and/or different technical characteristics, note that initial grouping of unit of charging capacitors at relevant stages of work of electro-pulse device can be easily changed automatically in different ways.
 
Regime ‘Charging of Unit of Energy Storage Capacitors’.
   
               

     When energy storage capacitors are grouped in one unit  16  on according command from control unit  1  (see  FIG. 3 ) charger  15  is connected to the point (switched on by the same command) of power supply unit  3 , which transforms industrial voltage of electrical network in DC voltage (the range 300-150 V) and by cable  5  is transmitted to charging unit  15  providing option of simultaneous charging to the same magnitude of all six charging capacitors  17 . As a result, DC voltage e.g. 250 V is applied to charging capacitors and their charging to required magnitude is carried out. For charging duration of 10 sec. all charging capacitors  17  are completely charged to their (12.5 kV) working voltage. 
     It should be noted that in course of charging of the unit of charging capacitors: 
     magnitude of voltage applied to charger can be changed and this can be done gradually or in jump towards its increase at least once; 
     capacitor is charged not less than to 35-50% from the magnitude of its working value; 
     capacitors can be charged to different extent 
     capacitors can be charged in series (one by one), note that for series charging it can be done without time intervals or with intervals setting the same or different duration in the range of 5 sec.-10 min. 
     optimal duration of charging makes 10-20 sec. 
     Regime ‘Discharging of Unit of Energy Storage Capacitors’. 
     When charging of unit  16  of charging capacitors  17  is completed in accordance with corresponding commands (see  FIG. 4 ) from control unit  1 , communicated (simultaneously or consequently) to charger  15  and switching means  21  and  22 , charger  15  is switched out from power supply unit  3  and electrical switches  33  and  34  of switching means  21  and  22  switch capacitors  17  in their in series electrical connection. Then from control unit  1  to trigger  20  of discharging unit comes the command for electrical connection of unit  16  of charging capacitors with electrodes  18  and  19 , one of which ( 18 ) is connected to the trigger  20  and the other ( 19 ) is connected to body  6  of downhole apparatus  4 . 
     As a result of such connection discharging of unit of charging capacitors  16  takes place providing supply of output voltage (breakdown voltage) to electrodes  18  and  19  of discharging unit. Magnitude of such breakdown voltage is proportional to number of charging capacitors and is equal to the sum voltages charged by each of them and for the parameters mentioned above makes 75 kV. When such output voltage from the unit of charging capacitors is supplied to electrodes  18  and  19  deep in oil-saturated fluid  26 , between electrodes the single electrical discharge takes place, which energy is 800 J and which, on mentioned depth, is sufficient for efficient impact on critical area of the pool in distance of 180-200 meters from downhole apparatus. 
     It should be noted that during discharge of the unit of charging capacitors 
     in case of simultaneous discharging one can discharge not all capacitors but only part of them (at least two) 
     capacitors can be discharged one by one; in this case discharging may be carried out without time intervals or with such intervals setting for them the same or different duration in the range of 5-20 seconds. 
     The discharge causes significant movements of the fluid following in development of cavity pockets, which then are closed. Single electrical discharge causes water hammer consisting of two water hammers: first one when fluid is pulled out and the cavity one occurring when pocket is closed. The more density of the fluid (more powerful pulse and the higher amplitude) is the higher pressure of electro-water hammer is. 
     When hydraulic impact of first single electrical discharge on fluid  26  (filling module  13  and the well  27 ) and accordingly on receiver part of well, all equipment and devices (on corresponding command from control unit) is switched into initial condition (energy supply unit  3  is not disconnected from industrial network) and is ready again to consequent execution of such regimes of work as ‘Grouping of charging capacitors in one unit’ and ‘Discharging of the unit of charging capacitors’, 
     Multiple execution of these regimes of work (possibly with other electrical parameters) leads to development in the fluid of second and so on single electrical discharges, normally with frequency of 0.2-0.01 Hz (for parameters mentioned above −0.03 Hz). 
     In course of works on different depth other options for production of low frequency elastic vibrations listed below can be implemented.

     On first command from control unit  1  aboveground power supply unit  2  (see  FIG. 2  and), which is ultrasonic generator e.g. PS 4-25 connected to industrial electrical network, on second command it starts transforming electrical energy of industrial frequency (50 Hz) in energy of AC voltage of ultrasonic frequency (working frequency of 23-26 kHz) and transmits it by cable  5  on toxoid energizing coil (shown but not noted in  FIG. 1 ) of circular magnetostrictive transducer  14 . Under influence of magnetic field created by energizing coil transducer  14  starts radial vibrations with amplitude of 2-5 microns, which via insulating material  24  and walls of the body  6  of downhole apparatus  4  are transmitted to fluid  26  filling the well  27  and its critical area. Under influence of these vibrations of fluid filtration properties of critical area are improved and stabilized, which leads to increase of productivity of treated oil pool. 
     Impact by elastic vibrations of high frequency is performed mainly on frequency 18-44 kHz and is continued in constant or pulse regime with intensity in the range of 1-5 Wt/sm2. 
     It should be noted that depth of placement of transducer does not have negative impact on efficiency of production of high frequency vibrations and also it should be noted that in case of pulse impact by high frequency elastic vibrations duration of impact makes 0.1-0.5 seconds and duration of break makes 0.5-5 seconds. 
     Generally treatment of critical area of the well with elastic vibrations of high frequency on the depths noted above with parameters noted above can be done e.g. as follows: 
     initial intensity of vibrations—1.2 Wt/sm2; 
     duration of treatment—5 minutes; 
     technological break of 5 minutes 
     increase (performed from control unit  1 ) of intensity of vibrations—2.5 Wt/sm2; 
     duration of treatment—20 minutes 
     technological break during 10 minutes 
     three cycles of treatment with duration of 10 minutes per each with two technological breaks of 5 minutes each. 
     After completion of all works with production and use of elastic high frequency vibrations of low frequency ultrasonic range magnetostrictive transducer is switched off from the power supply unit  2 , which is disconnected from industrial electrical network. 
     It should be noted that maximum efficiency from realization of proposed method is achieved in case when oil-saturated fluid  28  is pumped out from treated well e.g. with oil pump  30 , pumping jack  31 , oil bars  32  and oil-well tubing  29 . Note that pumping out of the fluid can be started before impact on the pool by elastic vibrations. 
     Comparative analysis of known and proposed technical solutions indicates significant advantages of the latter. First, it is capability to impact on oil pool with elastic vibrations of both high and low frequency and accordingly treatment of not only well bottom zone but also treatment of critical area of the pool. Second, it is the capability to work on depths of 1500-2700 meters and more with optimal regimes of treatment and opportunities for broad variations of electro-technical parameters of downhole apparatus with simultaneous impact on oil pool with elastic vibrations of both high and low frequency. Third, this is rather small size of downhole apparatus (in comparison with first analogue: diameter is 2.5 times less, length is 1.04 times shorter), which allows using of it in wells of any profile of inclines of sections of pool with quick movements from well to well.
