Abstract  The temporal and spatial distributions of petroleum contaminants in ground water are dealt with in this paper. On this basis, hydraulic capture engineering is arranged. The results from running the hydraulic capture wells show the partial petroleum contaminants in groundwater maybe removed out by the hydraulic capture technique.
