Enumeration

Definition

The type(s) of material that are pumped down a wellbore.

Description

Steam, carbon dioxide, water, and other substances can be injected into an oil-producing stratum in order to maintain reservoir pressure, heat the oil or lower its viscosity, thus allowing it to flow to a producing well nearby. Waste water may be injected into the ground between impermeable layers of rocks to avoid polluting fresh water supplies, or carbon dioxide similarly sequestered.
