METHOD OF CREATING CARBONIC ACID WITHIN AN OIL MATRIX

摘要

A system and method for cracking, hydrogenating and extracting oil from underground deposits is presented. A system includes injecting syngas into a oil deposit to crack and hydrogenate the oil to produce upgraded oil with a reduced density and viscosity. An acid is created to increase the geological matrix within the oil deposit to allow an increase volume of upgraded oil to flow through the geological matrix. For example, condensing the syngas in the oil deposit produces condensed syngas and this can be combined with combining carbon dioxide with the condensed syngas to produce carbonic acid. The upgraded oil with reduced density and viscosity is extracted from the underground deposit to transport the upgraded oil aboveground.
