    Abstract: A casing has a plurality of joints of pipe joined by a plurality of casing collars, and an outer surface. A high-frequency alternating current (AC) source electrically is coupled to the casing. A coating of insulating material covers the entire outer surface of the casing. The coating has an opening that exposes a casing portion. The casing and the coating of insulating material define a capacitive electrode having an impedance Z f with a magnitude |Z f | at the frequency of operation f of the high- frequency AC source. Z f is low enough to allow current from the high-frequency AC source to be injected from the casing through the coating of insulating material into a surrounding formation. The casing portion has a resistance R to direct current (DC) with a magnitude that is very large compared to |Z f |.
