Recovery of stranded heavy oil by electromagnetic heating

High oil-viscosity is a major concern for the recovery of oil from heavy-oil reservoirs. Introducing energy to the formation has proven to be an effective way of lowering the oil viscosity by raising the temperature in the formation. The application of low-frequency heating, also known as electr...
