SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR UNDERGROUND SEAM PROCESSING WITH HELP OF ELECTRIC CONDUCTORS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC E21B43/24 

Abstract RU 2524584 C2

FIELD: oil-and-gas industry.

SUBSTANCE: set of invention relates to processing of hydrocarbons and/or similar products. In particular, it relates to processing of various seams by application of heat sources. Proposed system comprises well shaft located at least partially in hydrocarbon-bearing seam and including, in fact vertical section and, at least two, in fact, horizontal or inclined sections communicated with the former. First conductor is arranged at least partially in first of said two horizontal or inclined sections. Note here that first conductor includes electrically conducting material. Second conductor is arranged at least partially in second of said two horizontal or inclined sections. Note here that second conductor includes electrically conducting material. Electric power supply is connected with at least first conductor to excite its electrically conducting material to make current flow between electrically conducting materials via at least a part of said seam to second conductor to heat at least the part of this seam between said horizontal or inclined parts of well shaft.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of extraction.
