Abstract
A method for stimulating a reservoir includes providing a well traversing a subsurface into a reservoir containing hydrocarbons. Carbon dioxide and steam may be introduced into the reservoir via the well. The reservoir may be stimulated using one or more of infrasonic, acoustic, and ultrasonic stimulation. Seismic analyses may be applied to determine changes in flow characteristics of the reservoir. Monitoring a flow back effluent via one or more sensors located in the well may determine one or more properties of the flow back effluent. The introduction of carbon dioxide and steam, stimulating, and applying seismic may be repeated until a desired property of the flow back effluent is achieved. The method may include introducing hot carbonated water, carbon dioxide, and cold carbonated water into the reservoir via the well.
