Abstract

A method and apparatus for producing hydrocarbons from a subterranean formation. In a reservoir, liquid water is provided in the subterranean formation. The formation is heated to induce hydrothermal liquefaction of hydrocarbons. The liquefied hydrocarbons can then be produced from the subterranean formation. In-situ hydrothermal liquefaction allows production of hydrocarbons that could not otherwise be produced from subterranean reservoirs.
