Abstract

A method for treating a tar sands formation (32) in situ includes providing heat from one or more heat sources (30) to a portion of the tar sands formation. The heat may be allowed to transfer from the heat source(s) to a selected section of the formation to pyrolyze at least some hydrocarbons within the selected section. A mixture of hydrocarbons of a selected quality may be produced from the selected section by controlling production of the mixture to adjust the time that at least some hydrocarbons are exposed to pyrolysis temperatures in the formation.

Claims

CLAIMS:
1. A method for treating a hydrocarbon containing formation in situ, comprising:

providing heat from one or more heat sources to a selected section of the formation such that the heat provided to the selected section pyrolyzes at least some hydrocarbons in a lower portion of the formation; characterised in that the formation is a tar sand formation, that the heat sources comprise heaters and that the method further comprises:

producing a mixture of hydrocarbons from an upper portion of the formation, wherein the mixture of hydrocarbons comprises at least some pyrolyzed hydrocarbons from the lower portion of the formation.
