In an embodiment, a system may be used to heat a hydrocarbon containing formation. The system may include a conduit placed within an opening in the formation. A conductor may be placed within the conduit. The conductor may provide heat to a portion of the formation. In some embodiments, an electrically conductive material may be coupled to a portion of the conductor in the overburden. The electrically conductive material may lower the electrical resistance of the portion of the conductor in the overburden. Lowering the electrical resistance of the portion of the conductor in the overburden may reduce the heat output of the portion in the overburden. The system may allow heat to transfer from the conductor to a section of the formation.
What is claimed is: 1. A method for controlling an in situ system of treating a hydrocarbon containing formation, comprising: providing heat from one or more heaters to a portion of the formation; monitoring one or more acoustic events in the formation using one or more acoustic detectors placed in
What is claimed is: 1. A method for controlling an in situ system of treating a hydrocarbon containing formation, comprising: providing heat from one or more heaters to a portion of the formation; monitoring one or more acoustic events in the formation using one or more acoustic detectors placed in a wellbore in the formation; recording one or more of the acoustic events with an acoustic monitoring system; analyzing one or more of the recorded acoustic events to determine one or more properties of the formation; and controlling the in situ system based on the analysis of at least one of the recorded acoustic events. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the acoustic events comprises a seismic event. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the method is continuously operated. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the acoustic monitoring system comprises a seismic monitoring system. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising monitoring more than one of the acoustic events simultaneously with the acoustic monitoring system. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising monitoring at least one of the acoustic events at a sampling rate of at least once about every 0.25 milliseconds. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein analyzing at least one of the recorded acoustic events comprises interpreting at least one of the recorded acoustic events. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the properties of the formation comprises a location of at least one fracture in the formation. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the properties of the formation comprises an extent of at least one fracture in the formation. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the properties of the formation comprises an orientation of at least one fracture in the formation. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the properties of the formation comprises a location and an extent of at least one fracture in the formation. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein controlling the in situ system comprises modifying a temperature of the in situ system. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein controlling the in situ system comprises modifying a pressure of the in situ system. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the acoustic detectors comprises a geophone. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the acoustic detectors comprises a hydrophone. 16. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing heat to a portion of the formation. 17. The method of claim 1, further comprising pyrolyzing some hydrocarbons in a portion of the formation.
