Producing hydrocarbons under hydrothermal conditions

A method of producing hydrocarbons from a subterranean formation in a reservoir involves introducing liquid water to the subterranean formation and heating the formation to induce hydrothermal liquefaction of hydrocarbons. The liquefied hydrocarbons can then be produced from the subterranean formati...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method of producing hydrocarbons from a subterranean formation in a reservoir involves introducing liquid water to the subterranean formation and heating the formation to induce hydrothermal liquefaction of hydrocarbons. The liquefied hydrocarbons can then be produced from the subterranean formation. The method may further involve fracturing and popping the formation and also the introduction of steam and alcohol.
