Performance Prediction of Underground Gas Storage in Salt Caverns

Energy Sources, Part B: Economics, Planning, and Policy, 2007
Abstract Underground gas storage is a common activity in countries with major transport and distribution gas pipeline infrastructures, which allows to efficiently resolve demand seasonality problems. Subsurface caverns in salt formations are being increasingly used for storage of natural gas.

Haze, Rain and Temperature Inversion in Gas-Storage Salt Caverns

56th U.S. Rock Mechanics/Geomechanics Symposium, 2022
ABSTRACT: The brine sump at the bottom of a gas-storage cavern remains perennially colder than the rock mass at cavern depth, even a dozen years after cavern creation has been completed, resulting in an inversion of the temperature gradient in the lower half of the cavern in which convection is impeded.

Status of Gas Storage in Salt Caverns in West Germany

SPE Gas Technology Symposium, 1989
Abstract In recent years the climb in demand for gas storage space has led to the expansion of existing and construction of new cavern storage facilities. More projects are currently under discussion. The planning and construction of gas caverns in West Germany has been the state of the art for many years. This is becoming

Rock mechanics for gas storage in bedded salt caverns

International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences, 1997
Abstract Liquefied petroleum gases and natural gas have been stored in caverns solution mined in domal and bedded salt for many years. The majority of the natural gas storage caverns in the United States have been developed in domal salt. This paper is a case history of three caverns that were developed specifically for natural gas storage in bedded ...

Numerical Assessment of Hydrogen and Gas Mixture Storage in Salt Caverns

2023
With the UK recently doubling its hydrogen production goals to adjust to the market demand the necessity for storage is becoming realised [1]. There are several options for utility-scale storage including salt caverns, deep saline aquifers and depleted gas fields.

Simulating Gas Storage in Salt Caverns

2017
Salt caverns are artificial cavities in salt formations, which are usually used for long-term storage of hydrocarbons such as black oil or natural gas. At least two facilities, located in MacIntosh, USA (PowerSouth Energy Cooperative) and in Huntorf, Germany (Crotogino and Quast 1981), employ salt caverns in combination with compressed air energy ...

Modeling and Analysis of Salt Cavern Natural Gas Storage

SPE Production and Operations Symposium, 2013
Abstract A rigorous modeling approach is developed for effective management and inventory analysis of natural gas storage in underground salt caverns by considering the interactions of storage gas with surface facilities through wells and surrounding salt formation.

STORAGE OF NATURAL GAS IN SALT CAVERNS

Proceedings of SPE Northern Plains Section Regional Meeting, 1975
American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers, Inc. Discussion of this paper is invited. Three copies of any discussion should be sent to the Society of Petroleum Engineers office. Such discussion may be presented at the above meeting and, with the paper, may be considered for publication in one of the two SPE ...

Phenomenological Inventory Analysis of Underground Gas Storage in Salt Caverns

SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 2002
Abstract This paper presents a model for effective management of natural gas storage in salt caverns. An interactive and dynamic phenomenological inventory model is developed that considers the effects of hydrocarbon thermodynamics, phase behavior, and heat and mass exchanges along cavern walls during gas loading, storage and unloading ...

Storage of Natural Gas in Salt Caverns

1989
The storage of natural gas meets the following primary objectives: 1. Improvement of the economics of gas-transport- pipeline networks. 2. Compensation of seasonal fluctuations in consumption. 3. Covering demand fluctuations (Peak Shaving). 4.
