Abstract:
One potential value of subsurface strata in geologic basins is the available space for storage or disposal of industrial waste liquids and solids. Disposal methods which are being developed include the injection of liquids into deep permeable formations, the storage of solids in caverns constructed in salt beds, and the incorporation of liquids in cement slurries which are injected into artificially produced fractures in shale and allowed to harden. Six of the papers in this volume describe geologic basins where such disposal methods might be used successfully.
Physical limitations on the use of these methods include restricted space capacities in reservoir strata, pressure limits, possibilities of escape through pressure-induced fractures, adverse hydrodynamic conditions, and possible plugging of rock pores by precipitates or other materials. These limitations, and the principles governing subsurface-disposal techniques, are discussed in the three papers following this introductory paper.
