A method for treating a hydrocarbon containing formation is described. The method for treating a hydrocarbon containing formation may include heating a first volume (162) of the formation using a first set of heaters (158). A second volume (164) of the formation may be heated using a second set of heaters (158). The first volume may be spaced apart from the second volume by a third volume of the formation. The first volume, second volume, and/or third volume may be sized, shaped, and/or located to inhibit deformation of subsurface equipment caused by geomechanical motion of the formation during heating.
L'invention concerne un procédé pour traiter une formation contenant des hydrocarbures. Ce procédé consiste à chauffer un premier volume de la formation en faisant appel à un premier ensemble de dispositifs de chauffage. Un second volume de la formation peut être chauffé au moyen d'un second ensemble de dispositifs de chauffage. Le premier volume peut être séparé du second volume par un troisième volume de la formation. Le premier volume, le second volume, et/ou le troisième volume peuvent être dimensionnés, configurés, et/ou situés pour inhiber une déformation de l'équipement souterrain, provoquée par un déplacement géomécanique de la formation lors du chauffage.
