ABSTRACT:
A process and composition for modifying hydrocarbons and/or recovering hydrocarbons from hydrocarbon-bearing formations involving mixing controlled quantities of alkali metal hydroxide and silicon in an aqueous medium to produce an oil modification agent. When recovering hydrocarbons, the composition can be injected into a hydrocarbon-bearing formation to react with and/or thin the entrapped hydrocarbons within the formation. The composition also provides a dispersing agent which aids in release of the hydrocarbon from its entrappment and enhances recovery from the formation.
