Check this out, a consortium of companies is using what is in essence a giant microwave transmitter tuned to the frequency of heavy oil in tests in Alberta. Claims sound great, if it pans out, the cost is supposed to be competitive with conventional oil from conventional fields onshore.

T - Actually not that new an idea. Has been tried a number of times in other plays. Not sure if it has proved commercial in any of them. The oil sands would just be a different application. But it could have an advantage the other efforts didn't have: competing against the high costs of the current systems. As usual most EOR techs work to varying degrees. The real question remains: the economy of any one approach.
