A radio frequency source configured to apply a differential mode signal is connected to a coaxial conductor including an outer conductor pipe and an inner conductor. The inner conductor is coupled to a second conductor pipe through one or more metal jumpers. One or more current chokes, such as a common mode choke or antenna balun, are installed around the outer conductor pipe and the second conductor pipe to concentrate electromagnetic radiation within a hydrocarbon formation. The outer conductor pipe and the second conductor pipe can be traditional well pipes for extracting hydrocarbons, such as a steam pipe and an extraction pipe of a steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) system. An apparatus and method for installing a current choke are also disclosed.

    摘要: Extracting of Heavy Oil (Hydrocarbon) from Tar Sand and Oil Shale in deep reservoirs 7,000-12,000 feet below the ground surface by using Circular Waveguides Technology and Microwave Energy High Power System. Using Circular Waveguides as microwave energy radiator connects to the Microwave High Power System is the most practical method and provides a relatively cost-effective means of extract heavy oil from target Tar Sand or Oil Shale in deep reservoirs. This invention method can be applied for future new well bores that are in the plan to be drilled. It also can be used for existing un-use well bores that are being closed; waiting for cleaner new enhance oil recovery technology becoming available in order to reclaim of heavy oil without damaging the environment.
