Abstract
Wellbore geophysical computer technology for seismoacoustic imaging of interwell space in order to identify undeveloped areas of oil deposits and additional extraction of hydrocarbon reserves by means of horizontal wells or seismoacoustic impact on oil-saturated formations is described. High detail of interwell space research is provided due to the use of a borehole electrohydraulic source with an “explosive” wire, which has a wide range of emissions and high resolution. The method of seismoacoustic tomography makes it possible to obtain high-precision velocity sections of the medium under study. The proposed technologies can be used for investigation of underground space during engineering surveys and other purposes.
