Abstract: A method of enhanced gaseous hydrocarbons recovery is provided. The method includes placing at least two individual, independently-controllable heating elements aligned opposite one another and in the same location on a production tubing in a wellbore at a gaseous hydrocarbons-producing location of a geological formation to form a permanently-installed array of heating elements. The method also includes heating a portion of the geological formation containing a gaseous hydrocarbons deposit comprising kerogen with a gaseous hydrocarbons formation heating device comprising the permanently-installed array of heating elements, at a temperature sufficient to liberate gaseous hydrocarbons from the kerogen present in the gaseous hydrocarbons deposit and recovering the gaseous hydrocarbons by transporting the gaseous hydrocarbons via the production tubing to the surface. The gaseous hydrocarbons formation heating device comprises a controller configured to control the permanently-installed array of heating elements.

Abstract: A method of improving natural gas recovery from a subterranean hydrocarbon reservoir includes at least one renewable energy source that is electrically coupled with a heat conducting element. The heat conducting element is positioned in a perforated section of a wellbore that traverses into the subterranean hydrocarbon reservoir. A temperature of the subterranean hydrocarbon reservoir is maintained above a cricondentherm temperature so that liquid condensation may be prevented at a final production time. In order to maintain the temperature within a required temperature range, an internal temperature, an internal pressure, and a set of reservoir properties are monitored and then utilized to plot a phase diagram that can be used to detect liquid condensation. If liquid condensation is detected, an electrical output of the renewable energy source is adjusted in order to control the temperature of the subterranean hydrocarbon reservoir at a producing end of a production tubing.

Abstract: A method of increasing the strength of a carbonate rock is described. The carbonate rock may be located within a subterranean carbonate formation or may be located on a building exterior. The method involves contacting the carbonate rock with a composition comprising a zinc salt or a silicon alkoxide. This may increase the hardness of the carbonate rock by 10% or more.
