Methods for initiating chemical reactions in a wellbore include delivering one or more reactive components via a carrier fluid to the wellbore. The one or more reactive components delivered to the wellbore are configured to enable one or more chemical reactions to occur. The one or more chemical reactions are carried out until a threshold volume of the one or more reactive components is delivered to the wellbore.

An oil production system and method. The system includes a system for heating unrecovered oil. The system includes a chemical injection well having at least one subterranean outlet. The system also includes an oil production well with at least one subterranean inlet. The subterranean outlet is lower in elevation than the at least one inlet. The chemical injection well is coupled to an injected reactant source, and wherein said injected reactant source reacts with a second reactant in an exothermic reaction.

A machine-readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program for selecting a well of an oil field to deploy in-situ shockwave (ISS) equipment, the computer program causing the machine to select the oil field in response to determining that a reservoir beneath the oil field contains by-passed oil. The reservoir and by-passed oil can meet threshold requirements. The computer program further causes the machine to determine, based on well availability data characterizing one or more wells of the oil field, whether an available well is present at the selected oil field. The computer program also causes the machine to perform select the available well in response to determining that the available well is present at the selected oil field and meets requirements based on well availability data. Furthermore, the computer program causes the machine to deploy ISS equipment to the selected available well to extract the by-passed oil.
