Title:
A METHOD FOR SEQUESTERING A FLUID WITHIN A HYDROCARBON CONTAINING FORMATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001081716
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method for sequestering a fluid is disclosed, which method comprises sequestering the fluid within a portion of an in-situ heat treated hydrocarbon containing formation, such as a coal seam in which hydrocarbons have been pyrolysed, of which at least a portion has preferably a permeability of at least 100 millidarcy.
