APPG consists of pulsating charges with the corresponding equipment, a wire line connected with a geophysical cable, a tray underneath, sleeves between charges and charges on edges of the generator. The generator is placed opposite to formation, so that the charges in a fluid-filled well, when exploded, apply a thermal and gas chemical, as well as high frequency vibrowave treatment of the producing layer.

Here is the essence of the vibrowave technology using APPG. After the generator is let down, it is installed opposite the producing formation. After which current is fed via the cable using glow plugs mounted into a propellant of end walls of the daisy. After their ignition all other elements continue burning thereby increasing pressure and temperature in the well. After explosion each charge gains its own vibration mode which occurs under certain conditions which resonate with the fluid-filled charge cavity. Pressure waves are generated; they are synchronous with the entire device. Then these waves are induced in PTA through the casing string. Frequency of the waves reaches 20 KHz with ranges of up to 5-10 MPa. The formation pressure mounts dramatically. Simultaneously, the waves penetrate PTA which precipitates secondary acoustic emission with the corresponding vibrations. Productive formation is impacted with high temperature vibration waves; this enhances the thermal-gas-chemical formation treatment effect. The formation gets fractured, its perforation tunnels grow wider, and thus filtration- and other properties of the headers are modified. Ultimately, the formation is fractured, while vibration in the formation reduces maximum pressure of the fracture on rocks.

SGK Region in association with OJSC ROSNANO is currently working on developing high powered downhole devices (APPG-N, PK-N (the so-called perfogen), jet charges featuring high penetrative power) using aluminum nanopowder as solid fuel (V-Alex (100)). This project is currently undergoing scientific and technical evaluation.
