1. A method for extracting petroleum products from a petroleum product reservoir, comprising:
providing a carbon dioxide generator unit;
producing carbon dioxide using the carbon dioxide generator unit;
providing a carbon monoxide generator unit;
producing carbon monoxide using the carbon monoxide generator unit;
determining a desired ratio of carbon dioxide to the carbon monoxide for oil recovery from the petroleum product reservoir; and
selectively distributing carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide dynamically in the desired ratio with a controller, via at least one fluid connection from the carbon dioxide generator unit and the carbon monoxide generator unit to the petroleum product reservoir.
