  • Patent number: 8763697
    Abstract: A process for the production of hydrogen in a subterranean hydrocarbon reservoir, is provided. The process may comprise the steps of introducing a metal-based catalyst into a hydrocarbon-containing zone in said reservoir, raising the temperature in said zone to a temperature at which catalyzed conversion of hydrocarbon to hydrogen occurs, and, optionally but preferably, recovering hydrogen from an extraction section of a production well located above said zone.
