The disclosure relates to an apparatus for insertion of a conduit into a well system bore to introduce a reactant fluid over a subterranean catalyst to initiate decomposition of the reactant fluid which resultant energy release may be utilized to perform work or perform heating of the subterranean environment. The reaction may be further accelerated by the addition of a fuel down into the reaction chamber or blended with the reactant fluid at a surface location. Reaction products can be jetted from a reaction chamber orifice against the proximal surface of the well system bore which may be either a production zone for the purpose of stimulating production or against a casing to perforate the casing and expose the production zone adjacent such perforation. The energy released from said catalytic reaction and subsequent combustion of fuels may also be used for cutting, welding, powering pumps, compressors, turbines, generators, or to heat well system fluids, pipes, subterranean reservoir fluids, subterranean solids, and completion devices in the well system. |
