Patent ID: 8534352

Claim:
A method for controllably mobilizing, flowing and maneuvering the flow of hydrocarbon-containing materials within and about a subterranean reservoir, said method comprising: spacing apart and selectively positioning in a triangulated configuration above a subterranean reservoir containing therein a volume of hydrocarbon-containing materials, at least three seismic apparatus wherein each seismic apparatus is configured individually to controllably and directionally emit vibrational energies toward said hydrocarbon-containing materials, said vibrational energies comprising pluralities of seismic waves having electronically manipulable frequencies and amplitudes; controllably manipulating an electronic seismic control device configured to communicate with and cooperate with each of said at least three seismic apparatus to concurrently modulate the amplitudes and frequencies of the vibrational energies produced thereby each of said seismic apparatus; detecting with a sensing apparatus provided therefore, fluidity and patterns of flow and changes in the fluidity and the patterns of flow of the hydrocarbon containing materials within the subterranean reservoir, said sensing apparatus configured to communicate with and cooperate with said electronic seismic control device; and further controllably manipulating said electronic control device to modulate the frequencies and amplitudes of the seismic vibrational energies emitted by each of said at least three seismic apparatus to controllably maneuver the flow of said hydrocarbon-containing materials about said subterranean reservoir.
