ABSTRACT:
A subterranean formation is penetrated by a borehole. The formation is fractured and propped with a slurry capable of maintaining a thermit reaction. The slurry is ignited. Upon cooling, a solid metal conductor fin network from the bore into the formation is formed in the fracture system. Energy is transferred between a locus in the borehole and the formation by the network.
