Abstract
The idea of artificial change of formation temperature to increase oil production has a long history. since the beginning of the 20th century. Different methods and technologies to heat heavy oil has being created and implemented in deferent scales. This methods compose of three main trends: - producing wells bottom-hole thermal treatment; - formation treatment by beat carriers injection and; - in-situ combustion process.
