Abstract: The practicable applications of the investigative technique evolved at Kazan State University Radioelectronic Chair in the field of hydrodynamical experiments in natural porous media are considered. This technique developed from filtrational waves of pressure method combined with original automated control system. It enables to verify the filtrational models and calculate the saturated porous media parameters for the purpose of oil development optimization.

Keywords: fluid filtration, pressure field, porous media, filtrational waves, control and measuring systems.
