Methods and systems for hydrocarbon material recovery include injecting a monomer-containing solution into a subterranean formation that contains some amount of a hydrocarbon material. The monomer-containing solution includes at least one monomer that may polymerize into a polymer when exposed to a temperature above a monomer polymerization temperature. The subterranean formation may be at a temperature about equal to or greater than the polymerization temperature. Thus, the monomer-containing solution may polymerize in the formation based on temperature. Additional chemical polymerization agents may not be needed for polymerization. |
