ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention relates to a method of oil extraction or a method of enhancing oil extraction from oil reservoirs. The invention is a process of devising and applying a customized electromagnetic irradiation protocol to individual reservoirs. Reservoir samples are tested to determine their content, molecular resonance frequencies and the effects of electromagnetic field on their compounds. Electromagnetic field frequency, intensity and duration necessary to heat and or crack individual molecules and produce plasma torches is determined. Equipment are selected and installed according to the results of the laboratory tests and the geophysics of the mine. Dielectric constant of the formation is reduced by draining the water and drying it with electromagnetic energy. A combination of the effects of microwave flooding, plasma torch activation, molecular cracking and selective heating are used, in order to heat the oil within the reservoir, by controlling frequency, intensity, duration, direction and wave form of the electromagnetic field. Conditions of the reservoir are continuously monitored during production to act as feedback for modification of the irradiation protocol.
