摘要: A first conductor is positioned in the substantially horizontal or inclined portion of a wellbore. The includes electrically conductive material. wellbore copper coupled to tapers from larger thickness at end smaller second portion. power supply excites materials such that current flows between conductor, through least formation, located hydrocarbon containing layer and resistively heats formation two conductors.
