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

  • a first wellbore comprising a first electrode;

    a second wellbore comprising a second electrode, wherein the second wellbore is mechanically isolated from the first wellbore;

    a solution disposed within each of the first and the second wellbores, wherein the solution conducts electricity, wherein the first electrode and the second electrode at least partially contact 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, and wherein the electrical field electrochemically connects together, at least partially, the first wellbore and the second wellbore.
