Abandoned oil wells and depleted natural gas reservoirs might also work, Peek says, as long as they are not too remote to be hooked into the electrical grid.

They looked both at wells used for enhanced oil recovery — in which fluid is injected to flush lingering oil from a depleted reservoir — and at those used to dispose of wastewater from conventional oil and gas extraction or from hydraulic fracturing (fracking).

I've also read it's best to use a locally - made olive oil as it is likely to be fresher and retain more nutrients, which are gradually depleted by long storage times.

And in addition, let's say, if your oil did come from a good source and it did not go through all that processing, if it's in a clear bottle, that oil is getting rancid through light intervention and causing the actual nutrients to be depleted.

electric power plants are: (1) survey and assess the capacity, cost, and location of potential depleted gas and oil wells that are suitable CO -LCB- sub 2 -RCB- repositories (with the cooperation of the oil and gas industry); (2) conduct research on the feasibility of ocean disposal, with objectives of determining the cost, residence time, and environmental effects for different methods of CO -LCB- sub 2 -RCB- injection; (3) perform an in - depth survey of knowledge concerning the feasibility of using deep, confined aquifers for disposal and, if feasible, identify potential disposal locations (with the cooperation of the oil and gas industry); (4) evaluate, on a common basis, system and design alternatives for integration of CO -LCB- sub 2 -RCB- capture systems with emerging and advanced technologies for power generation; and prepare a conceptual design, an analysis of barrier issues, and a preliminary cost estimate for pipeline networks necessary to transport a significant portion of the CO -LCB- sub 2 -RCB- to potentially feasible disposal locations.

As we explained in December (This is the ongoing gas leak in California that's an epic ecological disaster) in the United States old oil fields are commonly used on the premise that geological sites that were good at keeping in oil for millions of years would also be good at keeping in gas — there are hundreds of depleted oil fields now doing service as storage sites for natural gas.

Among the points of contention are that predictions of near - term production increases in Saudi Arabia are optimistic; that the study underemphasizes political and security challenges to extracting oil from Iraq and, crucially, that it fundamentally misrepresents the record of recent depletion estimates by failing to take into account that newer, horizontal wells do not deplete gradually over time:
