1 Abstract

A method of solution mining of soluble salt and mineral deposits with an aqueous solvent to control the shape and dimension of a subterranean cavity, by maintaining an immiscible, liquid petroleum pad (oil pad) between the interface of the soluble deposit and the aqueous solvent used to dissolve the deposit. Since only the deposit below the petroleum oil pad is exposed to the action of the solvent, the shape of the cavity can be readily controlled by periodically raising the level of the oil pad in the well. The present process provides an improved method for solution mining whereby the depth and width of the well cavity is optimized for maximum life and minimum pumping costs.
