RADIO FREQUENCY STEAM FLOOD AND GAS DRIVE FOR ENHANCED SUBTERRANEAN RECOVERY

摘要

A method and system is provided for autogenic generation of a subterranean fluid flow, such as may be applied, for example, to enhance oil recovery or pollution abatement. In general, the method and system includes placing an electromagnetic apparatus (24) down the borehole of an applicator well (20) and radiating energy into a permeable formation (10) to achieve displacement flooding effects.
