Abstract
A METHOD IS DISCLOSED FOR TREATING A HYDROCARBON CONTAINING FORMATION IN SITU AND PRODUCING A HYDROCARBON FLUID FROM THE FORMATION, WHEREIN HYDROCARBONS PRESENT IN THE FORMATION ARE PYROLYSED AT AN ELEVATED PRESSURE WITH THE APPLICATION OF A PRESSURE/TEMPERATURE CONTROL SUCH THAT THE PRESSURE IS AT LEAST THE PRESSURE WHICH CAN BE CALCULATED FOR A SELECTED TEMPERATURE, OR THE TEMPERATURE IS AT MOST THE TEMPERATURE WHICH CAN BE CALCULATED FOR A SELECTED PRESSURE FROM THE EQUATION P=O.07*-AET+273 +B WHEREIN P IS PRESSURE (MPA), T IS TEMPERATURE (?C), AND A AND B ARE PREDETERMINED PARAMETERS WHICH RELATE TO A PROPERTY WHICH IS RELEVANT TO THE QUANTITY, THE COMPOSITIDN OR THE QUALITY OF THE HYDROCARBON FLUIDS PRODUCED. OPTIONALLY THE METHOD IS FOLLOWED BY THE STEP OF PRODUCING SYNTHESIS GAS IN-SITU WHICH STEP COMPRISES REACTING THE HYDROCARBON CONTAINING FORMATION THAT HAS BEEN TREATED WITH THE METHOD ACCORDING TO THE INVENTION WITH A SYNTHESIS GAS GENERATING FLUID. OPTIONALLY CONVERTED HYDROCARBONS ARE PRODUCED BY CONVERTING THE SYNTHESIS GAS SO PRODUCED INTO HYDROCARBONS AND/OR ENERGY IS GENERATED BY EXPANDING AND/OR COMBUSTING THE SYNTHESIS GAS SO PRODUCED OR USING THE SYNTHESIS GAS SO PRODUCED IN A FUEL CELL.
