Abstract
An in-situ method and apparatus for recovering hydrocarbons from hydrocarbon-bearing material by dissociation includes sinking a well casing into a deposit of the hydrocarbon-bearing material. A probe is inserted into the well casing until the probe end is adjacent the deposit of material. An electrical charge is released into the deposit via the probe end to dissociate the hydrocarbon-bearing material and produce a hydrocarbon rich product which can be recovered for fuel value.
