Fracturing utilizing an air/fuel mixture

A system to collect hydrocarbons from a subterranean environment comprising:

• a well hole extending a predetermined depth sufficient to reach a hydrocarbon deposit;
• a compressor flowing an air and fuel mixture into the well hole;
• a fracking pump that flows an aqueous mixture into the well hole to apply pressure to the air and fuel mixture to auto-detonate the air and fuel mixture;
• and
• wherein the subterranean environment is fractured with the energy of the auto-detonation to allow recovery of a plurality of hydrocarbons in the hydrocarbon deposit from the well hole.

A system for fracturing a subterranean well location with a well hole comprising:

• at least one pipe extending downward to a lower surface of the well hole;
• an air compressor connected to the at least one pipe;
• a mixing hopper attached to the air compressor;
• a first packer plug, inserted into a distal end of the pipe within the well hole;
• a mass of a combustible mixture of an oxidizer and a fuel, atop the first packer plug;
• a second packer plug, inserted into the pipe enclosing the mass of the combustible mixture of oxidizer and fuel;
• wherein the mixing hopper mixes the combustible mixture of oxidizer and fuel, and the air compressor ejects the combustible mixture from the mixing hopper into the pipe, atop the first packer plug;
• and
• wherein a compressive force is applied to the second packer plug to auto-detonate the mass of combustible mixture.
