Methods of increasing a thermal conductivity and transferring heat within a subterranean formation, and methods of extracting hydrocarbons from the subterranean formation

摘要: A method of increasing a thermal conductivity subterranean formation and hydrocarbon-containing material comprises introducing nanoparticles having high into the formation. The adhere to surfaces increase material. heating fluid is injected contacts nanoparticles. Heat transferred hydrocarbons hydrocarbon- containing reduces viscosity hydrocarbons. Methods transferring heat material, as well methods recovering from are also disclosed.
