Abstract: A process for the recovery of hydrocarbon such as bitumen/EHO from a hydrocarbon bearing formation in which are situated an upper injection well and a lower production well, the method comprising the steps: preheating an area around and between the wells by circulating hot solvent through the completed interval of each of the wells until sufficient hydraulic communication between both wells is achieved; injecting one or more hydrocarbon solvents into the upper injection well at or above critical temperature of the solvent or solvent mixture, thereby causing a mixture of hydrocarbon and solvent to flow by gravity drainage to the lower production well; and producing the hydrocarbon to the surface through the lower production well. A non-condensable gas may be injected into the solvent chamber created by the hydrocarbon solvent.

Abstract: A method and arrangement are proposed for introducing a CO2 composition into a subterranean geological formation for storage of CO2 therein. The CO2 composition is initially injected into the formation using a first set of injection parameters at which the CO2 composition is a supercritical fluid having first viscosity and density values. The injection parameters are then modified such that the CO2 composition is injected into the formation using at least one second set of injection parameters at which the CO2 composition is a supercritical fluid having second viscosity and density values that are different from said first viscosity and density values, wherein said injection parameters include the injection temperature, injection pressure and hydrocarbon content of the CO2 composition.

Abstract: A method of introducing a CO2 composition into an aquifer for storage of CO2 therein, said method comprising injecting CO2 in a supercritical state into said aquifer at one or multiple first vertical positions; and withdrawing brine solution from said aquifer at one or multiple second vertical positions; wherein any one of said first vertical positions is distinct from any one of said second vertical positions is disclosed. An arrangement for introducing a CO2 composition into an aquifer is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention concerns an arrangement for injecting CO2 in a supercritical state into a subterranean geological formation, said arrangement comprising: a conduit having a proximal portion and a distal portion, at least part of said distal portion extending in a substantially horizontal direction; multiple openings being provided in said distal portion of said conduit for injection of CO2 into said geological formation; wherein said multiple openings are provided with outflow limiting means for limiting the flow rate of CO2 through respective said opening into said geological formation. The invention also concerns a method for storage of CO2 by said arrangement.
