Abstract:
A method of extracting hydrocarbons from a subterranean formation comprises forming a suspension comprising reactive particles and a carrier fluid. The suspension is introduced into a subterranean formation containing a hydrocarbon material. At least a portion of the reactive particles are exothermically reacted with at least one other material within the subterranean formation to form a treated hydrocarbon material from the hydrocarbon material. The treated hydrocarbon material is extracted from the subterranean formation. An additional method of extracting hydrocarbons from a subterranean formation, and a method of treating a hydrocarbon material within a subterranean formation are also described.

Claim (Index 18):
The method of  claim 12 , wherein exothermically reacting at least a portion of the reactive nanoparticles with at least the aqueous material within the subterranean formation to form a treated hydrocarbon material from the hydrocarbon material comprises increasing the temperature of the reactive nanoparticles to exothermically react the reactive nanoparticles with the aqueous material to degrade surfaces of the subterranean formation.
