Abstract: Methods of use of cementitious material within sub-surface formations are considerably enhanced by the use of sonic or energy carrying waves therewith; and by the further use of fluids containing a gas, foam, emulsion or solvent in combination therewith a cleansing and better penetration into the formation is achieved; thus effecting further benefits of the use of sonic or energy carrying waves with cementitious materials.
Abstract: Various methods are shown as to the use of sonic wave generators, or sonic wave generators and modulators as to treating in the fracturing of, the acidizing of or the driving of fluids such as oil, gas or other fluids from subsurface fluid containing strata or formations. The use is shown of gaseous fluids being contained or injected within these subsurface fluid containing strata or formations for the reception of or localizing of these sonic waves of controllable or variable characteristics in this treating of or driving of fluids from these fluid containing subsurface strata or formations. The transporting of heat by these sonic waves into these fluid containing subsurface formations may be a contributing factor in the total effectiveness of these methods of treating or the driving and the subsequent recovery of fluids therefrom.
Abstract: A sonic or energy wave generator to create and transmit sonic or energy waves of controllable and variable characteristics and which may be utilized to transport sensible heat at sonic velocities to sonic wave or heat reception locations. Self induced or artificially created liquid-gas phase changes are a means for this sonic wave or heat reception, which may be at the surface as in ore reduction, concrete breaking, ice breaking or various extrusion or pressing operations, or in subsurface operations through well bores to selectively and variably mine ores, treat fluid containing formations or to drive various subsurface fluids to adjacent well bores.
