Induction Heating Supply

Electrical heating of oil sands allows for production in situ in a mode similar to conventional liquid oil production. This avoids disturbing and redistributing the overburden and production sands. A further advantage of electrical heating is that the power consumption can be matched to the availability of sources such as wind power.
