ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus in which a hydrocarbon-bearing well formation penetrated by a borehole is fractured with apparatus located outside the well by injecting gases into the well to elevate the pressure and temperature within the well formation and to maintain the elevated pressure and temperature until the formation is fractured, the apparatus including a gas generator of the type in which a fuel, such as hydrogen peroxide, is decomposed by a catalyst to form high temperature decomposition gases, such as steam and oxygen, and an air compressor for injecting compressed air into the well to aid in raising the pressure within the well formation so as to pack the decomposition gases into the formation and to maintain the raised pressure until the formation is fractured.
