METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PROMOTING PRODUCTION OF CATALYTIC GENERATED HYDROCARBONS

摘要

Methods and apparatus for promoting the production of oil and/or gas from organic carbon-rich sedimentary rocks in a surface reactor processing facility. The method includes applying a light hydrocarbon gas to the sedimentary rock in the reactor vessel to increase the yield of the oil and/or gas that is generated by the natural catalytic activity of the sedimentary rock.
