- Up to Ten-Fold Production Increase for Deep, Heavy-Oil Fields: Enables heavy oil extraction at deeper levels, previously too difficult and expensive to undertake. Field tests have shown up to a 10X production improvement. Enables heavy oil extraction, at all levels, to occur at lower costs, due to readily available low cost equipment and machinery. Enables the ?cold-cracking ? of the oil in situ. Hydrogen sulfide has been reduced by 95%. Better quality of oil is extracted using this electrical process: 4x less water cut, higher oil API gravity, much lower hydrogen sulfide. Environmentall y-friendly approach compared to alternative of steam. No water is required, and no wastewater is re-injected into the ground. Higher gas production and higher Btu content of the produced gas. Technology can be implemented incrementally, without the need for a single, major expenditure.
