| 1. A facility where nitrate ions are produced on-site and brought into contact with an aqueous system used to inject a water
solution into an oil reservoir, comprising:
(A) an integrated system that is comprised of (i) an extraction device for extracting water and natural gas present in proximity
to said facility and extracting oxygen and nitrogen from ambient air present at the facility, and (ii) a chemical reactor
for processing and reacting said extracted water, natural gas, oxygen and nitrogen to form nitrate ions; and
(B) a delivery device, physically interconnecting said integrated system to said aqueous system, capable of continuously delivering
said nitrate ions into contact with the aqueous system.
