ABSTRACT:
A catalytic process for stimulating the recovery of hydrocarbons from porous and permeable hydrocarbon bearing strata in earth formations utlizing at least one injection well and at least one production well both completed in said hydrocarbon bearing strata and a finely divided hydrocarbon cracking catalyst delivered to said strata by an injection gas controlled at suitable pressure, temperature and O.sub.2 content to promote and advance in place catalytic cracking of hydrocarbons and catalyst regeneration within said strata to be produced.
