| 发明名称 | Method for production of hydrocarbons using caverns | ||
| 摘要 | Embodiments described herein provide a system and methods for the production of hydrocarbons. The method includes flowing a stream directly from a hydrocarbon reservoir to a cavern and performing a phase separation of the stream within the cavern to form an aqueous phase and an organic phase. The method also includes flowing at least a portion of the aqueous phase or the organic phase, or both, directly from the cavern to a subsurface location and offloading at least a portion of the organic phase from the cavern to a surface. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A method for production of hydrocarbons, comprising: forming a cavern using solution mining; flowing a stream directly from a hydrocarbon reservoir to the cavern without reaching a surface; performing phase separation of the stream within the cavern to form an aqueous phase and an organic phase; flowing at least a portion of the organic phase directly from the cavern to a separate subsurface location without reaching the surface; and offloading at least a portion of the organic phase from the cavern to the surface. | ||
