Abstract

Process for the fluidification of a high-viscosity oil directly inside a reservoir (1) which comprises introducing into the reservoir, substan- tially at the well bottom, a charge of finely subdivided particles of ce- ramic material (5) having a high thermal conductivity, installing, sub- stantially in correspondence with the charge, an emission antenna of microwaves/RF (7) connected, by means of a waveguide or cable, to a magnetron, pumping and vaporizing, at the well bottom, a vaporiz- able liquid, by means of microwaves or radiofrequencies, and injecting the vapour produced in situ into the reservoir (1).
