Lithium enrichment in produced water from the Triassic Montney Formation, Western Canada Sedimentary Basin / A. Kingston and C. Jiang. : M183-2/9237E-PDF

"As the world endeavors to transition to a low-carbon economy the need for energy storage devices such as lithium (Li) batteries becomes increasingly important. To respond to the rapidly increasing demand for rechargeable batteries, new sources of Li must be developed. Brines hosted in sedimentary basins offer an attractive option as fluids are currently produced from existing hydrocarbon extraction operations. Previous studies indicate that these brines can be enriched in Li and are widespread in deep sedimentary basins. Despite this, our understanding of the processes responsible for Li enrichment in basinal brines is lacking. In this report, we show that the Montney Formation in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin hosts brines with appreciable Li concentrations"--Abstract, page 1.
