System And Method For Recovering Hydrocarbons From A Subsurface Formation That Minimizes Surface Disturbance

摘要

The present disclosure provides a system and method for recovering hydrocarbons that minimize surface disturbance. The system includes an electrical heater within the subsurface formation that heats hydrocarbons within the subsurface formation and a heater wellbore within the subsurface formation that has been reclaimed for surface use.

主权项

1. A system for recovering hydrocarbons, from a subsurface formation, that minimizes surface disturbance, comprising:
an electrical heater within the subsurface formation that heats hydrocarbons within the subsurface formation; a heater wellbore within the subsurface formation, wherein at least a portion of the heater wellbore has been reclaimed for surface use; and a heater sensor which is coupled to the electrical heater, wherein the heater sensor in configured to detect a heater characteristic.
