Patent ID: 8746333

Claim:
An apparatus for stimulating the flow of a natural resource in a geological formation toward the extraction zone of a production well, the apparatus comprising: at least one acoustic wave generator for generating at least one modulated high-frequency acoustic wave, wherein said at least one acoustic wave generator is configured to apply a low-frequency acoustic wave to a geologic formation by applying bursts of said at least one frequency-modulated acoustic wave; a generator chamber for hosting said at least one acoustic wave generator, wherein said generator chamber is sealed and pressurized; a power supply unit for providing electric power to said at least one acoustic wave generator; a power cable for receiving power from a power source at the ground surface to said power supply; and at least one sensor for capturing well temperature and well pressure data; a sensor chamber for hosting said at least one sensor, wherein said sensor chamber is connected to said generator chamber through an opening; and a data cable for transmitting said well temperature and pressure data.
