Figure 2 is based on averaged well test data for 40 wells. This graph represents wells within a 1/2 mile radius of affection for two in-situ seismic stimulation tools. The graphs provide substantial proof that ASR's in-situ seismic stimulation has direct, positive impact on oil production and enhanced oil recovery.
