US Patent:

20040154792, Aug 12, 2004
Filed:

Feb 12, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/364555
Inventors:

Shane Bofto - Billings MT, US
International Classification:

E21B043/25
E21B043/00
US Classification:

166/248000, 166/369000
Abstract:

A method is described herein using electromagnetic energy to desorb hydrocarbons which are adsorbed to water bearing coal deposited below the ground surface. The electromagnetic energy is produced at either the surface and directed toward the coal, or it is produced directly in or near the coal and directed toward the coal. Because of the exposure to electromagnetic energy, adsorbed hydrocarbons are energized sufficiently to desorb from the coal and are available for recovery through other conventional methods.
