Waveguide Analysis of Radiofrequency Transmission in Well Tubulars for Electromagnetic Heating of Heavy Oil

This paper presents the numerical modelling and simulation of a 2D vertical well tubular model excited by a coaxial radiofrequency transmission line placed in its annular space for the purpose of downhole RF energy transmission. The study identifies the mechanism of energy losses due to coupling bet...
