Abstract
A method for selectively affecting the permeability of reservoirs to enhance fluid flow therein includes placing a plurality of acoustical wave generator means in a patterned array with respect to the reservoir and energizing them to create acoustic nodes at targeted areas of the reservoir. The acoustic wave generator means can be located solely on the surface, only below surface or in combination above and below surface. The acoustic wave generator means can be selectively simultaneously or sequentially energized to create nodes at targeted areas of the reservoir.
