The geological and physical characteristics of aquifer formation are not known ahead of time and a significant investment has to go into investigating these and evaluating the aquifer’s suitability for natural gas storage. If the aquifer is suitable, all of the associated infrastructure must be developed from scratch, increasing the ...
The source of CO 2 is the nearby Changling gas field, from which natural gas with about 22.5% is extracted. After separation at the natural gas processing plant, the CO 2 is transported to Jilin via pipeline and injected for a 37% enhancement in oil recovery at the low-permeability oil field. [28]
Water resource management; dam construction, subsurface storage, purification; aquifer modification. Wagon Wheel Jan. 1968 – 1974 Pinedale, WY (19 miles S) Natural gas stimulation; study stimulation at various depths; an exploratory hole and two hydrological wells were drilled. Wasp Jul. 1969 – 1974 Pinedale, WY (24 miles NW)
The site was first explored for gas production in 1958 with an 8,000-foot (2,400 m) deep well. The well turned out to be a dry hole and repurposed for gas storage. In 1964 the first gas was injected. [8]:
This shallow recharged water is then recovered as potable water and injected into the deep basalt aquifer. [citation needed] During the injection process, electrical energy can be generated by the head pressure of the water flowing back into the aquifer. This stored water is recovered during late summer and early autumn for irrigation needs.
The Sleipner project is the first commercial example of CO 2 storage in a deep saline aquifer, so there is a lot of interest from around the world in its success. In particular, scientists want to know how the CO 2 moves inside the aquifer and if there is a risk that it could escape back to the surface.
A proposal to site a power station on the site of the former Redcar Steelworks was announced in 2021. [53] The Whitetail Energy Plant is expected to be operational by 2025. [54] Both NZT and ZCH, aim to be operating fully by 2026, [55] and would look to use the Endurance Aquifer for carbon storage. [5]
If people can be convinced that natural gas is the best possible future, and a large expenditure can be made now for a massive natural gas infrastructure to use natural gas for vehicle fuel, it will be much more difficult to abandon natural gas as a vehicle fuel and move on to newer, less expensive renewable energy sources as they become more ...
