Methods of using geothermal energy to treat subsurface formations are
described herein. Methods for using geothermal energy to treat a
subsurface treatment area containing or proximate to hydrocarbons may
include producing geothermally heated fluid from at least one subsurface
region. Heat from at least a portion of the geothermally heated fluid may
be transferred to the subsurface treatment area to heat the subsurface
treatment area. At least some hydrocarbon fluids may be produced from the
formation.
