Abstract
This disclosure relates to a method and a system for sequestering carbon-containing materials in underground wells. An example method includes: obtaining a material comprising a carbon-containing liquid; optionally testing the material for compatibility with an underground well; optionally adjusting a property of the material to improve the compatibility; and providing the material for injection into the underground well.
Claims20
A method of sequestering carbon-containing materials, the method comprising:
- obtaining a material comprising a carbon-containing liquid,
- wherein the material has been subjected to a test for compatibility with an underground well,
- wherein the test for compatibility comprises using a core sample for the underground well to determine a tendency for at least one of premature polymerization, auto-polymerization, phase separation, gas generation, or precipitation of solids,
- wherein a property of the material has been adjusted to improve the compatibility with the underground well, and
- wherein the carbon-containing liquid comprises at least one of bio-oil, biocrude, or glycerol;
- and
- providing the material for injection into the underground well.

A system for sequestering carbon-containing materials, the system comprising:
- a source for a material comprising a carbon-containing liquid,
- wherein the material has been subjected to a test for compatibility with an underground well,
- wherein the test for compatibility comprises using a core sample for the underground well to determine a tendency for at least one of premature polymerization, auto-polymerization, phase separation, gas generation, or precipitation of solids, and
- wherein the carbon-containing liquid comprises at least one of bio-oil, biocrude, or glycerol;
- at least one of a blender or a filter for adjusting a property of the material to improve the compatibility with the underground well;
- and
- at least one of a container, a pump, or a pipe for injecting the material into the underground well.
