Production Of Liquid Hydrocarbon Mixture For Refining Petroleum
(AREA)
Abstract
The present invention provides a method for the in-situ pyrolysis of hydrocarbons in a subterranean kerogen-containing formation, comprising: providing heat to at least a portion of the kerogen-containing formation suc h that at least a part of the heated portion reaches the pyrolysis temperature of kerogen, yielding pyrolysis products; and collecting pyrolysis products from the subterranean formation; wherein the subterranean formation is selected to comprise kerogen with a vitrinite reflectance of 0.2 to 3.0 %. Further, the invention provides a method for synthesis gas production after the collection of pyrolysis products by allowing the kerogen-containing formation to react with a synthesis gas generating fluid.
