aquifer

Opportunities are created at the intersection of two important energy problems—the need for large-scale, long-term energy storage systems and effective end-of-life field management of historical oil and gas assets. This paper presents a hyperscale energy-storage solution using repurposed idle oil and gas wells to store energy in subsurface saline aquifers.

Wellbore-construction methods, especially casing-and-cementing practices for the protection of freshwater aquifers, have been reviewed in the Piceance, Raton, and San Juan Basins in Colorado.
