| An apparatus and a method is disclosed for storage of solar energy in a subsurface geologic reservoir. The method includes transferring concentrated solar thermal energy to a fluid, thereby generating a supercritical fluid. The supercritical fluid is then injected into the subsurface geologic reservoir through at least one injection well. The subsurface geologic reservoir may be a highly permeable and porous sedimentary strata, a depleted hydrocarbon field, a depleting hydrocarbon field, a depleted oil field, a depleting oil field, a depleted gas field, or a depleting gas field. Once charged with the supercritical fluid, the subsurface geologic formation forms a synthetic geothermal reservoir. | ||||||

| A method is disclosed for treating a hydrocarbon containing formation in situ and producing a hydrocarbon fluid from the formation, wherein hydrocarbons present in the formation are pyrolysed at an elevated pressure with the application of a pressure/temperature control such that the pressure is at least the pressure which can be calculated for a selected temperature, or the temperature is at most the temperature which can be calculated for a selected pressure from the equation (I) wherein P is pressure (bar absolute), T is temperature (°C), and A and B are predetermined parameters which relate to a property which is relevant to the quantity, the composition or the quality of the hydrocarbon fluids produced. Optionally the method is followed by the step of producing synthesis gas in-situ which step comprises reacting the hydrocarbon containing formation that has been treated with the method according to the invention with a synthesis gas generating fluid. Optionally converted hydrocarbons are produced by converting the synthesis gas so produced into hydrocarbons and/or energy is generated by expanding and/or combusting the synthesis gas so produced or using the synthesis gas so produced in a fuel cell. | ||||||

| The present invention provides a method for the production of synthesis gas from a hydrocarbon-containing subterranean formation comprising: providing heat to at least a portion of the subterranean formation such that at least a part of the heated portion reaches the pyrolysis temperature of kerogen, yielding pyrolysis products; collecting pyrolysis products from the subterranean formation; injecting a synthesis gas-generating component into the heated part of the formation, resulting in the production of synthesis gas by reaction of the synthesis gas-generating component with carbonaceous material remaining in the formation; and recovering synthesis gas. The synthesis gas thus produced can be used for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, manufacture of ammonia, urea, methanol, methane and other hydrocarbons, or used as energy source, e.g. in fuel cells. Carbon dioxide produced in such use of the synthesis gas can be sequestered in the formation. | ||||||

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Fluten von Speicherkavernen, insbesondere von Gaskavernen, die nach Auslagerung des Speichermediums mit einem geomechanisch notwendigen Mindestinnendruck beaufschlagt werden müssen. Betriebs- und funktionsbedingte Reparaturen und Rekonstruktionen an solchen Kavernen können nur durchgeführt werden, wenn die Kavernenbohrung nicht mehr durch Gas mit dem geomechanisch notwendigen Mindestinnendruck beaufschlagt ist und dieser Druck hydraulisch aufrecht erhalten wurde. Zur Lösung dieses Problems wird in die Kavernenbohrung 16 gegen den Kaverneninnendruck ein Flutrohrstrang 13 eingebaut und die Kaverne 19 geflutet, wobei mit dem Flutrohrstrang eine hydrodynamische/hydrostatische Flüssigkeitssäule aus dem Flutmedium eingerichtet und während des gesamten Flutprozesses aufrechterhalten wird. Der hydrodynamische/hydrostatische Druck der Flüssigkeitssäule kompensiert selbstregelnd den aktuellen Kaverneninnendruck, verschließt die Kaverne 19 hydraulisch bei einem Flutstromabriß und sichert einen gleichmäßigen, pulsfreien Einspeisedruck für das Flutmedium. |

| Formation injection tool (10) disposable in production well casing (C) includes upper intake flow control assembly (24), middle seal mechanism (26), and lower discharge flow control device (28). Upper intake flow control assembly (24) is attached to a lower end of pump (12) extending downward within well casing (C) past and below upper productive formation (P). In response to upstroke of pump (12), upper intake flow control assembly (24) permits one-way flow of undesired heavier fluid, such as water, from upper productive formation (P) downwardly and into upper intake flow control assembly (24) concurrently as desired lighter fluid, such as oil and/or gas, flows from upper productive formation (P) upwardly within well casing (C) to ground surface (G). Middle seal mechanism (26) establishes a closure seal within well casing (C) between upper productive formation (P) and lower disposal formation (D). In response to downstroke of pump (12), lower discharge flow control device (28) permits only one-way flow of the undesired heavier fluid from upper intake flow control assembly (24), downwardly through middle seal mechanism (26), and from lower discharge flow control device (28) to lower disposal formation (D). | ||||||
| 77 | WASTE DISPOSAL IN HYDRAULICALLY FRACTURED EARTH FORMATIONS. | EP93916921 | 1993-07-01 | EP0649352A4 | 1995-09-27 | PERKINS THOMAS K |
| Slurried solid waste materials are injected into subterranean earth formations in a zone of interest (102) which has a relatively low in situ compressive stress (96) bounded by zones of higher in situ compressive stress (98, 100) and wherein the zone of interest has alternate layers of material of relatively high and low permeability to fluid flow, respectively. The solid waste slurry is conducted through an injection well (92) penetrating the zone of interest to form a conventional two-winged hydraulic fracture (132, 134). The fracture is extended by reducing the tendency to form filtercake in the fracture adjacent to the layers of material of relatively low permeability (142, 144) while depositing particle filtercake adjacent the earth layers of high permeability (146, 148, 150) so as to provide clear fluid flowpaths through the fracture while allowing the filtercake layers disposed in the fracture to assist in propping the fracture open. | ||||||

| A method for disposing of drilling wastes where an aqueous saline solution is used to disperse a drilling fluid or mud. The saline solution containing the dispersed drilling fluid or mud is injected into a disposal well or high permeability oil depleted zone. An interval of the formation adjacent to the disposal well is hydraulically fractured so as to allow continued injection of the solution containing the drilling fluid or mud at substantially low pressures. Hydraulic fracturing is used to re-establish communication with a disposal zone whenever a 'skin' builds up due to filtration of the solids from the injected drilling fluids or muds. | ||||||

| Drill cuttings are disposed of by injection into a subsurface formation (12) by way of an annular space (26) formed in a wellbore (10). The cuttings are removed from the drilling fluid, conveyed to a shearing and grinding system that converts the cuttings into a viscous slurry with the addition of water. The system comprises a receiving tank (48, 50) and a centrifugal pump (56, 58) for recirculating the mixture of cuttings and water (seawater) between the pump and the receiving tank. A discharge conduit (76) is connected to the pump (56, 58) for moving the viscous slurry to an injection pump (78) for high pressure injection into the formation. | ||||||

| Procédé d'élimination des déchets de forage selon lequel on utilise une solution saline aqueuse pour disperser le fluide ou la boue de forage. On injecte la solution saline contenant le fluide ou la boue de forage dispersés, dans un puits ou dans une zone appauvrie en pétrole et à perméabilité élevée. On provoque une cassure hydrauliquement dans un intervalle de la formation contiguë au puits de refoulement pour permettre l'injection continue de la solution contenant le fluide ou la boue de forage à des pressions sensiblement basses. On utilise la cassure hydraulique pour rétablir une communication avec une zone d'élimination, chaque fois que se produit la formation d'une "peau" provoquée par le filtrage des solides provenant des fluides ou boues de forage injectés. | ||||||
