Study of gas reservoir of the volume of geological formations adjacent to the sources of gas emissions in Azerbaijan
Although there are numerous measures towards reduction of charges to the atmosphere (increase of energy efficiency, nuclear energy, wind and solar energy, transition to the new types of energy etc.), the method of CO2 gas capture and storage in the geological formations (in depleted oil-gas formations and under the deep layers of seawater) with highly favorable conditions in Azerbaijan is considered the most environmental and cost effective (significant part of costs is realized due to the involving mining equipment and idle wells into the process) one. Corresponding geological formations in Azerbaijan and their gas reservoirs have been studied via specifying geological formations for storage of accumulated CO2 gases in underground formations (undergorund gas storages). The research surveys are based on the global experience, actual production capacities, new projects, state-of-the-art technologies and the equipment for CO2 gathering as well.
