In situ hydrogenation of hydrocarbons in underground formations

摘要: A process and system for insitu hydrogenation employing a gas generator in borehole burning hydrogen-rich mixture of hydrogen oxygen. The comprises housing forming chamber with combustion zone at one end restricted outlet the other end. cooling annulus surrounds passages leading from to chamber. Hydrogen oxygen are supplied downhole form combustible which is burned whereby steam injected outlet. also annulus. flow controlled maintain temperature exhaust gases level sufficient crack hydrocarbons formations into lighter segments reaction excess hot less viscous products recovered production well.
