PROCESS FOR SEQUESTRATION OF FLUIDS IN GEOLOGICAL FORMATIONS

摘要

A process for geo-sequestration of a water-soluble fluid includes selecting a target water-laden geological formation bounded by an upper formation of low permeability, providing an injection well into the formation and injecting the fluid into the injection well under conditions of temperature, pressure and density contrast selected to cause the fluid to enter the formation and rise within the formation. This generates a dynamic density-driven convection current of formation water which promotes enhanced mixing of the water-soluble fluid with formation water.
