Control system for extraction of hydrocarbons from underground deposits

A control system for use in extracting hydrocarbons from an underground deposit comprising:

• an electromagnetic energy source;
• an antenna configured in the underground deposit to heat the underground deposit in response to electromagnetic energy received from the electromagnetic energy source;
• an impedance matching network configured to communicate electromagnetic energy between the electromagnetic energy source and the antenna;
• a temperature sensor configured to provide a sensed temperature of the underground deposit;
• a pressure sensor configured to provide a sensed pressure of the underground deposit;
• and
• a processor configured to control electrical parameters of the electromagnetic energy source and the impedance matching network in response to permittivity and conductivity of the underground deposit, wherein the processor is further configured to correlate the sensed temperature and the sensed pressure with one another to determine the permittivity and the conductivity of the underground deposit.

A system for providing an image of an underground deposit during extraction of hydrocarbons comprising:

• a multiphysics control system having
• a well behavior model including data corresponding to characteristics of the underground deposit,
• a multiphysics processing tool configured to generate characteristic data for the underground deposit using the well behavior model and a model of a coupled system of the underground deposit,
• a voxel generator configured to generate voxels for the underground deposit using the characteristic data generated by the multiphysics processing tool;
• a display;
• and
• an image processor configured to provide image data to the display, wherein the image data is derived from the voxels generated by the voxel generator.
