Abstract
Summary
In-situ production of hydrogen from hydrocarbon reservoirs presents an innovative and cost-effective solution to produce hydrogen from fossil fuel sources. It involves the injection of oxygen-enriched air into the reservoir to initiate combustion within the reservoir. As the temperature of the reservoir increases above 500 - 700oC, thermochemical reactions take place to produce hydrogen: aquathermolysis, thermal cracking, water-gas shift reaction, and coke gasification. In this study, the strength, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to this technology are discussed. The weaknesses identified presents important research direction for this technology.
