The heat transfer mechanisms, either from horizontal or vertical wells, associated with the electro-thermal ap- proach distinguishes the various methods. In some of the approaches, heat transfer by conduction is the dominant method...

The effect of each of the mentioned drive mechanisms appears as an effective compressibility term in the new gas material balance equation. Also...

..., on the other hand, the chemical mechanisms possible are not so simple. The simplest mechanism here is not an aquathermolysis at all, but more likely a decarboxylation reaction. The most general decarboxylation may be written as RCOOH RH + CO2 Prior to the 1960 s most decarboxylation reactions...
