Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for hydrocarbon resource recovery in a subterranean formation including a laterally extending injector well having a tubular conductor therein, and a laterally extending producer well adjacent the injector well, may include drilling outwardly from a distal end of the injector well beyond a distal end of the tubular conductor to define an extended injector well portion. The method may further include advancing a radio frequency (RF) conductor through the tubular conductor so as to extend beyond the distal end of the tubular conductor and into the extended injector well portion. The method may further include supplying RF energy into adjacent portions of the subterranean formation from the RF conductor, and recovering hydrocarbon resources utilizing the producer well.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
That which is claimed is: 1. A method for hydrocarbon resource recovery in a subterranean formation comprising an originally drilled laterally extending injector well having a tubular conductor therein, and a laterally extending producer well adjacent the injector well, the originally drilled laterally extending injector well having been drilled at a first drilling and laterally extending producer well having originally been used in recovery of hydrocarbon resources during a first…
