Abstract
Introduced herein are system and method for precisely determining the actual location of a standing wave created within a wellbore as well as other key properties about the created wave. The introduced system and method utilize a fiber optic sensing system, such as fiber optic Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) system, that actively interrogates and monitors fiber optic sensors along the length of a wellbore. The introduced system and method generate one or more pressure pulses that combine with one another to create a standing wave within a wellbore and process the acoustic response of the standing wave using the fiber optic DAS system over a wide range of frequencies. Based on the measurements, the introduced system and method determine the actual location of the created standing wave and move it to a desired location within the wellbore by adjusting one or more properties of the pressure pulses.
