Summary: | A downhole tool utilizing microwave energy for stimulating production of hydrocarbons from a drilled well. A microwave generator is disposed within the body of the tool and supplied with power from the surface. Microwaves generated by the tool are applied to a refractory dielectric material disposed at a lower end of the tool or to dielectric material in fluids circulated into the wellbore, or directly to the formation. |
