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 15):
The method of  claim 12 , wherein forming a suspension comprises forming the reactive nanoparticles to have one or more functional groups selected from the group consisting of carboxy groups, ether groups, ketone groups, amine groups, hydroxy groups, alkoxy groups, alkyl groups, aryl groups, aralkyl groups; alkaryl groups, lactone groups, imidazole groups, pyridine groups, and fluorinated groups.
