METHOD FOR EXTRACTING HYDROCARBON COMPOUNDS, ESPECIALLY CRUDE OIL, FROM UNDERGROUND OIL SANDS DEPOSITS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for extracting hydrocarbon compounds, especially crude oil, from underground oil sands deposits, comprising the following steps: at least two parallel boring sections are created in the oil sands deposits; at least some areas of the boring sections are filled with an explosive material; the explosive material is ignited in order to enlarge the boring sections; the combustible material is ignited in at least one of the boring sections in order to convert the hydrocarbon compounds in the oil sands deposit into a liquid and/or gaseous state; the hydrocarbon compounds in a liquid and/or gaseous state are collected; and auxiliary substances such as water and atmospheric oxygen are optionally introduced and removed for desired material conversions for the refining of hydrocarbons.
