METHOD FOR ENHANCED HYDROCARBON RECOVERY USING IN-SITU RADIO FREQUENCY HEATING OF AN UNDERGROUND FORMATION WITH BROADBAND ANTENNA |
| 摘要 |
A method for enhanced subsurface hydrocarbon recovery, comprising the use of at least one in-situ broadband antenna to radiate radio frequency energy into the reservoir to heat a target zone. The use of a broadband antenna allows for compensation of growing impedance mismatch between the antenna and the reservoir that occurs during recovery operations. |

1. A method for recovering hydrocarbon from a subsurface formation, the method comprising the steps of:
a. drilling at least one well into the formation adjacent the hydrocarbon; b. positioning at least one antenna in the at least one well, the at least one antenna operable over a wide frequency bandwidth; c. emitting electromagnetic energy from the at least one antenna into the formation; d. allowing the electromagnetic energy to heat the hydrocarbon and reduce the viscosity of the hydrocarbon; and e. producing the heated hydrocarbon to surface. |
