textEnhanced oil recovery as a result of earthquake events has been repeatedly observed and reported. The main advantage of a seismic wave-based EOR is that it is not costly and is easy to deploy. However, the method has not yet been fully investigated; the production enhancement mechanisms need to be identified and confirmed. This thesis shows a possible production mechanism and preliminary estimate of incremental oil recovery due to seismic wave stimulation. The production mechanism is improved sweep efficiency through viscous cross-flow between different permeability layers of a reservoir as a result of fluid pressure oscillations. In this thesis, we studied a possible viscous cross-flow generation between a fracture and a rock matrix of...
