saline aquifer

Saline aquifers have been used for storage of chemical waste in a few cases.

Many ideas have been proposed — pumping it into old oil and gas fields or saline aquifers, to name a few.

He conceded there are still challenges, particularly with storage of carbon in deep saline aquifers.

And pipelines will run out of the building and into saline aquifers two miles underground.

It will be important to demonstrate long-term storage in a range of geological settings including deep saline aquifers.

The major disadvantage of saline aquifers is that relatively little is known about them compared to oil fields.

The main advantage of saline aquifers is their large potential storage volume and their common occurrence.

Less than 5 ohm - meters resistivity was interpreted for the lower saline aquifers.

A saline aquifer still flows beneath the surface and replenishes the salt whenever the water table rises.

Carbon dioxide disposal in deep saline aquifers in the Alberta basin.

He added that another hurdle to overcome was the use of saline aquifers to store CO2 on a large industrial scale.

Deep saline aquifers underlie the sedimentary basins across Canada and hold even more storage potential.

The project has moved to a second stage and is investigating carbon dioxide trapping in a saline aquifer 1500 meters below the surface.

One problem is that while some nations are well-endowed with oil fields or saline aquifers, such as the UK, others have few.

It appears as a salt accumulation in top soils due to a rise of the water table of the upper saline aquifer.

Occasionally, a saline aquifer exists between the basalt and the limestone, but this is not sufficiently common to be diagnostic.

Declining oil fields, saline aquifers, and unminable coal seams have been suggested as storage sites.

Deep saline aquifers and unminable coal deposits might hold a few centuries worth of carbon dioxide, but are less well understood.

Usually they put it in a saline aquifer, but I am not sure if there is anywhere suitable in China," he said.

Their model includes more than 20 parameters but is simple enough to assess the storage capacity of a large number of saline aquifers around the country.

Geological storage can take place in oil and gas reserves, deep saline aquifers and unminable coal beds.

There is potential large-capacity underground storage in deep saline aquifers, but no one knows if these can contain carbon dioxide for centuries without leaking.

Government laboratories have experimented with dissolving the gas in saline aquifers or pumping it into geologic formations under the sea.

It also has ample quantities of underground geological structures like saline aquifers suitable for safely storing captured carbon.
