Abstract
A device for processing a hydrocarbon resource may include a radio frequency (RF) source, a first RF conductor, a second RF conductor, and a hybrid coupler assembly coupled to the RF source and the first and second RF conductors. The first and second RF conductors may each having distal ends configured to receive the hydrocarbon resource therebetween and apply RF power from the RF source to the hydrocarbon resource.
