AB  - A set of techniques for well treatment aimed to enhance oil recovery are considered in the present study. These are based on the application of elastic waves of various types (dilation-wave, vibro-wave, or other acoustically induced effects). In such a context, a new technique is proposed to predict the effectiveness of the elastic-wave well treatment using the rank distribution according to Zipf’s law. It is revealed that, when the results of elastic wave well treatments are analyzed, groups of wells exploiting various geological deposits can differ in terms of their slope coefficients and free members. As the slope coefficient increases, the average increase in the well oil production rate (after the well treatment) becomes larger. An equation is obtained accordingly for estimating the slope coefficient in the Zipf’s equation from the frequency of the elastic wave. The obtained results demonstrate the applicability of the Zipf’s law in the analysis of the technological efficiency of elastic-wave well treatment methods.
