METHODS OF GENERATING HYDROGEN IN HIGH-TEMPERATURE, TIGHT SUBTERRANEAN FORMATIONS

Abstract: a method of producing hydrogen downhole in a subterranean reaction zone that employs fracturing a subterranean formation to provide fractures in the subterranean formation (e.g., to produce the subterranean reaction zone comprising fracture volume provided by the fractures), wherein the subterranean comprises a tight formation, and introducing one of more reactants downhole into the fractures (e.g., into the subterranean reaction zone), whereby hydrogen is produced by reaction of the one or more reactants in situ in the fractures (e.g., in situ in the reaction zone).
