RMS Hydrocarbon Acoustic Stimulation System
RMS Hydrocarbon Acoustic Stimulation System
RMS technology is the application of mechanical sound waves to stimulate production and recovery of hydrocarbons. With a global production of 90 million barrels of oil per day and proven reserves exceeding 1,500 billion barrels, RMS promotes quicker monetization and more resources to monetize. The effect of acoustic waves in hydrocarbons have been widely documented in scientific literature, proven in laboratories, however to date, there has not been a system that has delivered a successful field application. Through a proprietary innovation model to generate technology applications towards value added industrial solutions, AIC Energy developed a technology application that offers tangible impact for the oil and gas industry.
RMS evolved as a solution that effectively delivers the acoustic energy, power and radiation pattern to generate greater productivity and recovery factor. RMS delivers high acoustic power and intensity in two simultaneous and complementary frequency ranges. The high frequency impacts the near wellbore sections while the low frequency promotes the impact deep in the reservoir.
RMS is clean technology, does not require chemical products, water, and does not impact the environment. Its design is compatible with all production methods as well as enhanced oil recovery processes. Its application is low cost and requires limited incremental investment.
RMS is based on known and documented science, proofs of concept and pilot tests that are in the public domain including participation of the United States Department of Energy. RMS is ready for an industrial scale field trial; its readiness level includes developed tools and laboratory tests, the detailed study and analysis of the scientific community elements in public domain, concept and pilot tests, and a robust design that has been improved for optimized well operation. Its intellectual property is protected by issued patents and commercial and industrial trade secrets as well as know-how, all the property of AIC Energy.
