Claim 22:
23. The method of claim 21, wherein:
coupling the first and the second transmission lines to the at least one electromagnetic power source comprises using at least one waveguide to couple the first and the second transmission lines to the at least one electromagnetic power source; and
determining that a hydrocarbon formation between the transmission line conductors of the one or more of the first or the second transmission lines is at least substantially desiccated comprises:
obtaining one or more impedance measurements along the at least one waveguide;
if the impedance measurement is within a threshold impedance, determining that the hydrocarbon formation between the transmission line conductors is desiccated; otherwise determining that the hydrocarbon formation between the at least two transmission line conductors is not desiccated.
