Early Studies:
Many studies were done through 90's but the relative low cost of a barrel of oil and the high cost and large size of the electronics made the prospect unfeasible at the time. A research study conducted at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology for Global Milestone Corporation,an early precursor of Scientific Production Inc., in 1991 "Stimulation of Oil Wells Using Electromagnetic Waves", funded by Global, showed three limiting factors at that time; 1. the price of crude oil was below 30 dollars per barrel 2. the size of the power generation equipment was too large to be placed inside the well casing 3. the efficiency of the power electronics was too low, and would have required extensive cooling, such as refrigeration or liquid nitrogen The Now: Enhanced Oil Recovery with Radio Frequency Stimulation October 5, 2004 by Jon J. Spijkerman Ph.D. edited by WPH to avoid repeating and relevance The cracking of large oil molecules into smaller molecules greatly reduces the viscosity of very heavy crude oil, and increases the mobility to bring the oil to the well and bring it to the surface. The methane and other gases produced by the radiation will be sufficient to produce the electricity (to) run the radio frequency equipment, so no outside electricity will be required. At the time this proposal was made the following factors limited it(s) success; (see above) These factors have changed enormously. Todays electronics can be placed inside the well casing, without cooling, operation near 96% efficiency. Rather than a semi-trailer full of equipment, a van can be used for this purpose. Some research will have to be done, to futher study the frequency range, power level and expected yield. This will make it possible to design the prototype equipment and do onsite experiments. The purpose of this website is to gain the Venture Capital needed to accomplish this testing both in laboratory and field, laboratory prototype, field prototype and commercial application.
