1. A system for enhanced recovery of hydrocarbonaceous fluids, the system comprising:

  • a first wellbore comprising a first electrode disposed therein;

    a second wellbore comprising a second electrode disposed therein;

    a machined flow path disposed in fluid communication with the first wellbore and the second wellbore;

    a solution disposed within the machined flow path, wherein the first electrode and the second electrode extend at least partially into the solution; and

    a power source operatively connected to the first electrode and the second electrode, and configured to produce an electrical field therebetween, wherein the electrical field causes an electrochemical reaction within the solution to create a gas for permeating hydrocarbonaceous fluids and for increasing pressure within at least one of the first wellbore, the second wellbore, the machined flow path, and combinations thereof, thereby enhancing recovery of the hydrocarbonaceous fluids.
