This article is about of high oil viscosity reservoirs, where due-to low initial oil saturation, presence of gas cap and bottom water, high depth, low thickness the application of «cold» and «thermal» methods is unprofitable, and microwave heating is a perspective technology transport.

In the paper, a new type of high-frequency microwave heating method for windshield forming process was investigated. In order to obtain the effects of forming process parameters and windshield properties on the forming qualities of windshield, the distributions of electromagnetic energy and temperature were simulated by coupling electromagnetic analysis with multi-physics analysis. Moreover, the influence of different microwave input frequencies on electromagnetic energy and temperature distributions was analyzed. The results show that a travelling-standing wave distribution of electromagnetic energy is formed within windshield. And the temperature distribution and heating time are determined by combined influences of windshield properties and microwave frequency. And the necessary temperature distribution can be realized by electing appropriate microwave frequency.

Thermal methods of enhanced oil recovery and especially the in-situ combustion known to the efficient methods among the known enhanced oil recovery methods. In this method heat is added to the reservoir to reduce the oil viscosity. So, that it can be more efficiently driven to the producing well. However the experimental analysis of ISC to understand its operation is known to be expensive. Therefore we have developed a 1D model using STARS module of CMG where in we have Cartesian grid. To this we have given and given i, j, k values. Later porosity, Temperature and initial pressures are given. For setting the well we have used injector and producer. After checking errors we have validated the model. It is evident from the performance plots that the temperature along the core is a function of the gas injected and the oil saturation. However the as the temperature moves along the reservoir from injection well the oil saturation is observed to decrease in the vicinity of the well and start to build away from the injection well towards the production well. This is work provides a platform to understands the combustion propagation and its role in improving the oil recoveries

This paper presents a review of electrical heating for the recovery of heavy oil which the work adopts methods used in the past and the prospects for crude oil recovery in the future. Heavy oil is one of the crude oils with API more than 22 which has the potential to overcome the current light oil crisis. However, high viscosity and density are challenges in heavy oil recovery. The method is often used to overcome these challenges by using thermal injection methods, but this method results in economic and environmental issues. The electrical heating method could be a solution to replace conventional thermal methods in which the methodology of electrical heating is to transfer heat into the reservoir due to increasing oil mobility. Because the temperature rises, it could help to reduce oil viscosity, then heavy oil will flow easily. The applications of electrical heating have been adopted in this paper where the prospects of electrical heating are carried out to be useful as guidelines of electrical heating. The challenge of electrical heating is the excessive heat will damage the formation that must be addressed in the prospect of electrical heating which must meet energy efficiency. The use of Artificial intelligence becomes a new technology to overcome problems that are often found in conventional thermal methods where this method could avoid steam breakthrough and excessive heat. Therefore, it becomes more efficient and could reduce costs.

With the development trend of wireless and broadband in the communication link and even the whole information industry, the demand of high-frequency microwave bandwidth has been increasing. The RoF network system solves the problem of spectrum congestion in low-frequency band by providing an effective technology for the distribution of high-frequency microwave signals over optical fiber links. However, the traditional mm-wave generation technique is limited by the bandwidth of electronic devices. It is difficult to generate high-frequency and low-phase noise mm-wave signals with pure electrical components. The mm-wave communication technology based on photon assisted can overcome the bandwidth bottleneck of electronic devices and provide the potential for developing the low-cost infrastructure demand of broadband mobile services. This paper will briefly explain the characteristics of the RoF network system and the advantages of high-frequency mm-wave. Then we, respectively, introduce the modulation schemes of RoF mm-wave generation based on photon assisted including directly modulated laser (DML), external modulation, and optical heterodyne. The review mainly focuses on a variety of different mm-wave generation technologies including multifrequency vector mm-wave. Furthermore, we list several approaches to realize the large capacity data transmission techniques and describe the digital signal processing (DSP) algorithm flow in the receiver. In the end, we summarize the RoF network system and look forward to the future.
