METHOD OF STORAGE OF SEQUESTERED GREENHOUSE GASSES IN DEEP UNDERGROUND RESERVOIRS

摘要

A system and method for storage of Greenhouse Gasses, in particular CO2 gasses, in an underground reservoir of rock at the shallowest depth necessary to achieve a combination of temperature and pressure sufficient to ensure that the reservoir is hydraulically sealed and isolated. Particle Jet Drilling is utilized to afford an economical process of drilling the necessary deep well bores to reach the deep rock formations. The underground reservoirs are formed through hydraulic dilation of existing joints in the rock formations.
