Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a method for causing a subterranean fluid flow through a permeable formation. The method comprises the steps of placing an electromagnetic device in a borehole that is situated in the earth's subsurface and comprises a tubing that reaches into the permeable formation. The method further comprises the step of activating the electromagnetic device to heat material in the permeable formation. Additionally, the step of placing the electromagnetic device in the borehole comprises arranging the device substantially outside the tubing of the borehole.
