APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR FLUIDLY COMMUNICATING BETWEEN CONDUIT STRINGS AND WELLS THROUGH CROSSOVERS FORMING A SUBTERRANEAN MANIFOLD STRING, USABLE FOR PRESSURE CONTAINED UNDERGROUND HYDROCARBON OPERATIONS, STORAGE AND SOLUTION MINING. CONCENTRIC CONDUITS ENABLE FLUID COMMUNICATION WITH ONE OR MORE SUBTERRANEAN REGIONS THROUGH AN INNERMOST PASSAGEWAY USABLE FOR COMMUNICATING FLUIDS AND DEVICES ENGAGABLE WITH A RECEPTACLE OF THE MANIFOLD. A WALL OF THE MANIFOLD STRING AND/OR A SELECTIVELY PLACED FLUID CONTROL DEVICE DIVERTS FLUID MIXTURE FLOW STREAMS FROM ONE PASSAGEWAY TO ANOTHER RADIALLY DISPOSED INWARD OR OUTWARD PASSAGEWAY TO SELECTIVELY CONTROL PRESSURIZED FLUID COMMUNICATION, THEREBY FORMING A PLURALITY OF PRESSURE BARRIERS. THE PRESSURE BARRIERS CAN BE USED TO SELECTIVELY COMMUNICATE FLUID MIXTURES TO AND FROM A RESERVOIR FOR HYDROCARBON OPERATIONS, SOLUTION MINING, AND/OR CONTROL OF A STORAGE CUSHION SPACE DURING SUCH OPERATIONS. |
