Abstract

Process for the fluidification of a high-viscosity oil (9) directly inside a reservoir (1) which comprises injecting into the reservoir, substantially at the bottom of the well, finely subdivided particles of ceramic material having a high thermal conductivity, dispersed in a fluid with a variable viscosity, by means of an induced fracturing operation and installing, substantially in correspondence with the fractured area (5), a microwave/RF emission antenna (6) connected by means of a waveguide (7) or cable, to a magnetron.
