  • METHODS FOR REPURPOSING THERMAL HYDROCARBON RECOVERY OPERATIONS FOR SYNTHESIS GAS PRODUCTION
    Publication number: 20240263550
    Abstract: Methods for repurposing thermal hydrocarbon recovery operations where the reservoir, which has been previously treated with steam for hydrocarbon mobilization, is further treated with an oxidizer to induce one or more of thermal cracking (thermolysis), gasification, water-gas shift, and aquathermolysis reactions to generate synthesis gas within the reservoir, which synthesis gas or its constituent components can then be produced to surface.

  • Process to produce hydrogen from underground geothermal reservoirs
    Patent number: 11708744
    Abstract: A geothermal reservoir induces gasification and water gas shift reactions to generate hydrogen. The hydrogen or protons are produced to surface by using hydrogen-only or proton-only membranes in production wells. Energy from the reservoir is produced to surface as protons or hydrogen.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 14, 2018
    Date of Patent: July 25, 2023
    Inventors: Jingyi Wang, Grant D. Strem, Ian D. Gates
  • IN-SITU PROCESS TO PRODUCE SYNTHESIS GAS FROM UNDERGROUND HYDROCARBON RESERVOIRS
    Publication number: 20210047905
    Abstract: A petroleum reservoir is treated with heat to induce gasification, water-gas shift, and/or aquathermolysis reactions to generate synthesis gas comprising hydrogen gas. The synthesis gas is produced to the surface using one or more production wells.
