Embodiment approach

[0039] In accordance with the present invention, a method of recovering hydrocarbons from a hydrocarbon-containing material may include forming a structured permeability control infrastructure. The structured infrastructure defines a substantially enclosed volume. Produced or harvested hydrocarbonaceous material may be introduced into the control infrastructure to form a permeable body of hydrocarbonaceous material. The permeable body may be heated sufficiently to remove hydrocarbons therefrom. The hydrocarbonaceous material may be substantially stationary during heating because the structured infrastructure is a fixed structure. The removed hydrocarbons may be collected for further processing, for use in a process, and / or for use as in recovery.

[0040] Each of these aspects of the invention is described in further detail below. The structured permeability control infrastructure may be formed using an existing reference level as a bottom support for the structured infrast...

Abstract

A method of recovering hydrocarbons from hydro carbonaceous materials can include forming a constructed permeability control infrastructure (100). This constructed infrastructure defines a substantially encapsulated volume. A comminuted hydro carbonaceous material can be introduced into the control infrastructure to form a permeable body (120) of hydro carbonaceous material. The permeable body (120) can be heated sufficient to remove hydrocarbons therefrom such as by using heating conduits (118,126). During heating the hydro carbonaceous material is substantially stationary as the constructed infrastructure (100) is a fixed structure. Removed hydrocarbons can be collected as liquid products (136) and gaseous products (140) for further processing, use in the process, and / or use as recovered.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims U.S. Provisional Application 60 / 900,505, filed February 9, 2007, U.S. Provisional Application 60 / 906,634, filed March 12, 2007, and U.S. Provisional Application 60 / 930,711, filed May 17, 2007 interests, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. Background technique [0003] Global and domestic demand for fossil fuels continues to grow despite rising prices and other economic and geopolitical factors. As such needs continue to grow, there has been a corresponding increase in research and investigations into finding alternative economically viable sources of fossil fuels. Historically, many people have been aware of the vast amounts of energy stored in, for example, oil shale, coal and tar placer deposits. However, these sources have been a difficult challenge in terms of economically competitive recycling. Canadian tar sands have shown that these attempts can be fruitful, although many challenges remain, in...
