- •
Disposal of saline water produced from underground energy exploitations has become a severe problem.
- •
Re-injection of produced water into deep underground formations has been considered as a direct disposal method.
- •
Core flooding experiments under deep geological conditions are conducted to evaluate the re-injection process.
- •
Injectivity affects significantly by rock heterogeneities such as low permeable beddings and their orientation.
