Recovery or storage process

摘要

A method for recovering gases and/or liquids stored with in one or more gas and/or liquid reservoirs comprising locating the upper consolidated boundary of the one or more gas and/or liquid reservoirs; drilling an access well which extends downwardly to at least adjacent the upper consolidated boundary of the one or more gas and/or liquid reservoirs; drilling a section of the access well extending along or adjacent at least a portion of the upper consolidated boundary of the one or more gas and/or liquid reservoirs; creating permeability pathways into the one or more gas and/or liquid reservoirs to enable the release of gas and/or liquid from the one or more gas and/or liquid reservoirs into the access well; and recovering the released gas and/or liquid through the access well. The method is also used for storage or sequestering of gases and/or liquids into one or more gas and/or liquid reservoirs wherein permeability pathways are created to inject the gases and/or liquids into the reservoirs from the access well.
