A method is disclosed fox producing thick tar sand deposits by preheating of a thin, relatively conductive layer (26) which are a small fraction of the total thickness of a tar sand deposit. The thin conductive layer (26) serve to confine the heating within the tar sands to a thin zone adjacent to the conductive layer (26) even for large distances between rows of electrodes (10). The preheating is continued until the viscosity of the tar in a thin preheated zone adjacent to the conductive layer (26) is reduced sufficiently to allow steam injection into the tar sand deposit. The entire deposit is then produced by steam flooding.
