The Powerwave tool generates a fluid [[displacement (fluid)|displacement]] wave in the [[porous]] media akin to [[Capillary wave|ripples]] from a stone thrown in a pond. These ripples generate high liquid [[accelerations]] in the pores facing liquids out, or treatment fluids in.<ref name=DeepWave>[http://www.halliburton.com/public/pe/contents/Data_Sheets/web/H/H04531.pdf H04531 DeepWave SDS]</ref>

In the ten plus years that the technology behind Powerwave has been developed by Wavefront Technologies and Environmental Services, it has evolved from a product that cost nearly $1 to make and had to be transported using two tractor trailers to one that can be shipped via [[courier]].<ref name=Shudder/> The Powerwave tool now is only one meter high and eight centimeters in diameter. Wavefront Technology Solutions Inc. leases the product to oil companies and charges around $3,000 a month for a minimum 12-month period.<ref name=Shudder/>
