Abstract
The article considers electric technologies of thermal drilling of deep wells in ice sediments and electrothermal installations for enhanced oil recovery in formations with heavy high-viscosity oil. The characteristics of the downhole electric heater and the results of the enlarged technical and economic evaluation of the effectiveness of electrothermal complexes are given.
