Abstract:
A system and method are provided that use RF energy to enhance the extraction of oil and gas from hydrocarbon bearing strata. A three-dimensional underground electromagnetic array is used to guide RF energy to where that energy is convened to heat in the hydrocarbon bearing strata. The three dimensional underground electromagnetic array is a guided wave structure, as opposed to an antenna structure, to minimize the unwanted effects of the near fields associated with antennas. In one embodiment, the legs of the three-dimensional underground electromagnetic array are composed of production well pipe.

Claim (Index 7):
The system of  claim 1 ,\n wherein said first primary-phase well pipe segment is separated from said first secondary-phase well pile segment by a separation volume, and wherein when said primary-phase well pipe segment switch is in the first primary-phase well pipe segment state and when said secondary-phase well pipe segment switch is in the first secondary-phase well pipe segment state, said first primary-phase well pipe segment and said first secondary-phase well pipe segment are operable to heat the separation volume.
