| 摘要 | The present invention provides a method of producing upgraded hydrocarbons in-situ from a production well. The method begins by operating a subsurface recovery of hydrocarbons with a production well. An RF absorbent material is heated by at least one RF emitter and used as a heated RF absorbent material, which in turn heats the hydrocarbons to be produced. Hydrocarbons are upgraded in-situ and then produced from the production well. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A method of enhancing in situ upgrading hydrocarbon in a hydrocarbon formation, comprising: a) providing a production well for recovery of a subsurface hydrocarbon; b) providing an RF (radio frequency) absorbent material rod in the center of said production well and in said subsurface hydrocarbon; c) positioning a RF antenna along an outer wall of said production well; c) heating said RF absorbent material with RF of 50 Hz to 100 MHz to generate a heated RF absorbent material and a heated and upgraded subsurface hydrocarbons in situ; and d) producing said heated and upgraded hydrocarbon from the production well. | ||
