      The trivariate Green function for the medium model under review represents a solution of the spherically symmetric Cauchy problem [30]:

      As two independent polarization types are available in a solid isotropic medium, the total displacement vector u(r,t) should be presented in the form of in-plane ul and lateral u r displacements:

      As an indicator of efficiency at a certain frequency may serve encompassment radius within which are maintained certain interrelations between the threshold values of vibration parameters—vibratory displacements ξ and vibratory accelerations image. These parameters are determined from the density of vibratory energy flow E at a given point of the medium and through vibration frequency f as follows:

      where ρC is the wave resistance or acoustic impedance of the medium.

      Numerical modeling was conducted by Sherifulling et al. [26] in order to determine the vibrations’ space-energy distribution. This enabled the computation of the energy picture of the wave distribution field for the assigned vibration frequency and of the vibratory accelerations and offsets field in the reservoir accounting for petro-physical properties of the top and base of the reservoir. Modeling was conducted using a method of the wave spreading statistical testing in the plane dissecting the reservoir with the plane-parallel boundaries [20]. The source of harmonic waves was distributed along the circumference of a well with the radius Rc with the center in the origin. The top and base of a reservoir having thickness H was positioned parallel to the X axis. At calculating by the statistical testing method, the spreading of the low-frequency harmonic waves is modeled using acoustic “quanta” flying out from the source in a random direction. Acoustic energy is assigned to each “quantum”, the energy equal to surficial density of a cylindric pulsator with the pressure amplitude P0:
