Abstract
A method for obtaining a hydrocarbon liquid from a hydrocarbon strata of an earth formation traversed by a borehole wherein the hydrocarbon strata is subjected to RF electromagnetic energy retorting by locating metal tubing formed in a predetermined manner in that portion of the borehole traversing the hydrocarbon strata. Additional metal tubing formed in a conventional manner is connected with the metal tubing located in the borehole traversing hydrocarbon strata so that together they form a production stream. The hydrocarbon liquid from the borehole may be pumped through the production stream to the surface of the earth formation.
