Hydrodynamic Technology Increasing Crude Oil Recovery Dr. Max Fomitchev-Zamilov
Oil Recovery Problem 1 out of 6 barrels produced comes from a marginal well 85% of U.S. oil wells are marginal 42% of wells are abandoned prematurely ($3.8B lost)
Quantum Vortex Solution Sound waves generated by QVI hydrodynamic siren clean the well perforations and unclog the formation
Competitive Comparison QVI Technology • Acoustic stimulation • Mobile / surface • Mobile / downhole • Zero environmental impact • Lower cost Conventional Technology Steam Injection CO2 injection Acid injection Environmental impact High cost
Pump Pump Downhole Sonication Siren Well completely filled with oil Well partially filled with oil Sonication Zone 1 Perforations Sonication Zone Siren Packer (optional) Sonication Zone 2
Siren Surface Sonication Pump Well completely filled with oil Sonication Zone 1 Sonication Zone 2
Opportunity: Oil Production Increase output from existing wells Revive old / stripper wells Mobile unit – rotate and service multiple wells 5-40% production increase Extremely low cost per well
Opportunity: Fracking Can make fracking more efficient Static fracking pressure + dynamic acoustic pressurewill open up more fractures in formation Can be tried easily
Opportunity: Water Treatment Water hammer is known to accelerate emulsified oil and suspended solids separation Tailing ponds clean up Proof of concept demonstrated
