Methods of Production and Possibilities of Determining Hydraulic Properties of Gas Saturated Water

Abstract

It is not possible to produce thermal water in the Pannonian Basin without encountering the problem of the water saturated with all types of gases.
The gases can indicate the water layer depth, and they can show traces of oil hydrocarbonate and other substance saturation.
So far there has not appeared a study that would give an in depth and comprehensive view of the characteristics and use of the gas saturated water.
Almost all the known literature dealing with this subject usually contains only theoretical and/or experimental results on particular gas solubility in hydrothermal water.
To produce gas saturated water and particularly to solve many practical hydraulic problems, it would be of key interest to conduct a wide range of exploration and to apply the experience to test the results.
The main objective of the following paper is to serve as a pretext for a basic view on the problems that occur in producing gas saturated hydrothermal water.
