Abstract
Methods and system relate to in-situ treatment of fluid to remove a heavy metal, such as mercury. The treatment utilizes a sorbent injected into a wellbore and disposed in a flow path of the fluid being produced to above ground. The mercury retained by the sorbent upon contact with the fluid may remain within a reservoir from which the fluid is recovered.
