The behaviour of sealed and abandoned deep salt caverns is discussed. In such a cavern brine pressure builds up due to brine thermal expansion and cavern convergence, possibly leading to hydro-fracturing of the rock mass. However brine (micro) permeation through the cavern walls may release brine pressure, leading to a final equilibrium such that brine

Sequestration of CO2 in Salt Caverns
Canadian International Petroleum Conference, 2002Abstract Permanent storage of CO2 in dissolved salt caverns is one of the geological options for reducing anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. Alberta is singularly well endowed with suitable salt deposits. Of these, the Lotsberg Salt of east-central Alberta is the best of the three major salt-

Safety evaluation of salt cavern gas storage close to an old cavern
International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences, 2016Abstract Uniaxial compression tests, triaxial compression tests, Brazilian disk splitting tests, direct shear tests and triaxial creep tests have been carried out on samples cored from Jintan mining district to determine their mechanical parameters. Based on the formation characteristic and the Sonar survey data of an old cavern, a 3D geomechanical ...

Simulating Gas Storage in Salt Caverns
2017Salt 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 ...

Experimental large scale salt cavern methanation simulation
2023Despite the high salinity, biological processes could be used in salt caverns for methanation if suitable conditions are created. With suitable backfill materials, growth areas for the formation of biofilms could be created and the availability of sulfate could be reduced. These backfill materials can also be used in the course of cavern containment to

Offshore Salt-Cavern-Based LNG Receiving Terminal
International Petroleum Technology Conference, 2005Abstract The global LNG business is in the early stages of a significant expansion. Predictions are that the volumes in the LNG industry will more than double in the next ten years. Production capacities of liquefaction trains are increasing and the LNG fleet is growing in numbers and in ships' cargo capacities. The

Salt Caverns for Underground Hydrogen Storage
Geoscience Australia, part of the Australian Government, is the nation’s trusted source of information on Australia’s Earth sciences. As part of ongoing investigations into the potential of hydrogen production and storage in Australia, Geoscience Australia has been using extensive geoscientific data to develop maps of salt bodies that may be suitable ...Commonwealth Of Australia (Geoscience Australia) +1 more

Modeling the construction of energy storage salt caverns in bedded salt
Applied Energy, 2019Abstract During the construction of energy storage salt caverns in bedded salt, the unpredictable failure of interlayers results in irregularly shaped caverns with lower storage capacity and with potential safety hazards. A model is established of the coupled salt dissolution and interlayer failure during the construction of a salt cavern.
