Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for enhanced recovery of petroleum fluids from the subsurface by electrical resistive heating of the oil sand formation and the heavy oil and bitumen in situ, by electrically energizing vertical inclusion planes containing electrically conductive proppant. The inclusion is propagated into a portion of the formation having a Skempton's B parameter of greater than 0.95 exp(-0.04 p')+0.008 p', where p' is a mean effective stress in MPa at the depth of the inclusion. Multiple propped vertical inclusions at various azimuths are constructed from multiple wells. Electrodes are placed in the wells in electrical contact with the inclusions and an alternating direction current is passed through the proppant.  By electrically resistive heating of the inclusion, the formation is heated by conduction and associated hydrocarbon fluids are lowered in viscosity and drain by gravity back to the well and produced to the surface. By controlling the reservoir temperature and pressure, a particular fraction of the in situ hydrocarbon reserve is extracted and water inflow into the heated zone is minimized.

Abstract: An antitumor agent containing carbon dioxide as an active ingredient of the invention can reduce in size or eliminate the tumor of a tumor patient who has difficulty in undergoing surgical therapy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or immunotherapy almost without causing side effects. The antitumor agent containing carbon dioxide as an active ingredient of the invention is useful because the agent enables (1) the reduction in size or elimination of a tumor, (2) the suppression of tumor metastasis, and (3) the reduction in size or elimination of a tumor at a site different from a site where carbon dioxide is transdermally absorbed by the transdermal absorption of carbon dioxide through the skin in the vicinity of the tumor or the skin at a distance from the tumor. When the antitumor agent containing carbon dioxide as an active ingredient of the invention is used in combination with surgical therapy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or immunotherapy, the effect can be potentiated or side effects can be reduced as compared with monotherapy or combined modality therapy thereof.
