Abstract (en)
[origin: CA2949575A1] The invention relates to an inductor (1) for heating a geological formation, in particular a deposit (100) of a hydrocarbon-containing substance, such as an oil sands deposit, oil shale deposit, or heavy oil deposit, by means of electromagnetic induction, in particular in order to extract the hydrocarbon-containing substance from the deposit (100). The inductor (1) comprises at least one conductor (2), wherein the conductor (2) has at least one interruption point (4), wherein a rounded-off conductive body (40) is attached at least at an end region (6) of the conductor (2) at the interruption point (4). In particular, a bundle of wires can be interrupted and connected by means of the rounded-off conductive body (40). The invention further relates to an operating method and to a production method for the inductor.
