Certain embodiments provide a method for treating a subsurface formation. The method includes providing one or more explosives into portions of one or more wellbores selected for the explosion in the formation. The wellbores are formed in one or more zones in the formation. The explosives are controllably exploded in one or more of the wellbores such that at least some of the formation surrounding the selected wellbores has an increased permeability. One or more heaters are provided in the one or more wellbores.
What is claimed is: 1. A method for treating a subsurface formation, comprising: assessing a clay content of a part of the formation and selecting wellbores for explosion based on the assessed clay content; providing one or more explosives into portions of one or more wellbores selected for explosi
What is claimed is: 1. A method for treating a subsurface formation, comprising: assessing a clay content of a part of the formation and selecting wellbores for explosion based on the assessed clay content; providing one or more explosives into portions of one or more wellbores selected for explosion in the formation, the wellbores formed in one or more zones in the formation; controllably exploding the explosives in one or more of the wellbores such that at least some of the formation surrounding the selected wellbores has an increased permeability; and providing one or more heaters in the one or more wellbores. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the increased permeability occurs at least about 0.3 m radially from at least one wellbore. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the increased permeability increases vertical permeability proximate one or more of the wellbores. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the explosives comprise elongated flexible materials that are configured to be placed in a length of at least one wellbore. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising allowing heat to transfer from the one or more heaters to the one or more zones of the formation. 6. The method of claim 5, further comprising controlling heating of the zones of the formation such that an initial heating rate of one or more of the zones is maintained below 20�� C./day for at least about 15 days. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein heating is controlled within about 3 m of at least one wellbore. 8. The method of claim 5, further comprising heating at least some hydrocarbons in the formation such that at least some of the hydrocarbons are pyrolyzed. 9. The method of claim 5, further comprising producing a mixture from the formation, wherein the produced mixture comprises condensable hydrocarbons having an API gravity of at least 25��. 10. The method of claim 5, further comprising heating the portion of the formation to at least a minimum pyrolysis temperature of about 270�� C. 11. The method of claim 1, further comprising: providing heat from one or more heaters to at least a portion of the formation, wherein one or more of the heaters are in one or more of the wellbores sized, at least in part, such that a space between the wellbore and one of the heaters in the wellbore has a width that inhibits particles of a selected size from freely moving in the space. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein a width of the space is at most about 2.5 cm. 13. The method of claim 1, further comprising assessing a permeability of a part of the formation and selecting the wellbores for explosion based on the assessed permeability. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the wellbores selected for explosion are in parts of the formation with a permeability of at most about 50 μdarcy. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein the wellbores selected for explosion are in parts of the formation with at least about 2% clay content by volume. 16. The method of claim 1, further comprising using a clay stabilizer in drilling fluids when forming the wellbore in zones with a clay content of at least about 2% by volume. 17. The method of claim 1, wherein the exploding inhibits sloughing of material in at least one wellbore during heating. 18. The method of claim 1, wherein the zones are near one or more wellbores in the formation. 19. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the wellbores has a liner placed between the heater in the wellbore and the formation, and wherein the liner comprises openings that are sized such that fluids can pass through the liner but particles of a selected size cannot to pass through the liner. 20. A method for treating a subsurface formation, comprising: providing one or more explosives into portions of one or more wellbores selected for explosion in the formation, the wellbores formed in one or more zones in the formation; controllably exploding the explosives in one or more of the wellbores such that at least some of the formation surrounding the selected wellbores has an increased permeability; providing one or more heaters in the one or more wellbores; and wherein at least one of the wellbores has a liner placed between the heater in the wellbore and the formation, and wherein the liner comprises openings that are sized such that fluids can pass through the liner but particles of a selected sized cannot pass through the liner. 21. The method of claim 20, wherein the liner is an expandable tubular. 22. The method of claim 20, wherein the liner is an expandable screen. 23. A method for treating a subsurface formation, comprising: providing one or more explosives into portions of one or more wellbores selected for explosion in the formation, the wellbores formed in one or more zones in the formation; controllably exploding the explosives in one or more of the wellbores such that at least some of the formation surrounding the selected wellbores has an increased permeability; providing one or more heaters in the one or more wellbores; and providing heat from one or more heaters to at least a portion of the formation, wherein one or more of the heaters are in one or more of the wellbores sized, at least in part, such that a space between the wellbore and one of the heaters in the wellbore has a width that inhibits particles of a selected size from freely moving in the space. 24. The method of claim 23, wherein a width of the space is at most about 2.5 cm.
