<p>A system and method for cracking, hydrogenating and extracting oil from underground deposits is presented. A method for extracting oil from underground deposits includes generating a high pressure, high temperature syngas. The method injects the syngas into a deposit of oil under the ground to crack and hydrogenate the oil to produce upgraded oil with a reduced density and viscosity. The reduced density and viscosity oil is extracted from the underground deposits to transport the reduced viscosity oil aboveground.</p> |
