Modeling Horizontal Salt Cavern Leaching in Bedded Salt Formations

SPE Journal, 2022
Summary The leaching of a salt cavern will trigger a series of rock-fluid interactions, including salt rock dissolution, cavity expansion, and brine transport caused by convection, turbulence, and diffusion effects. These interactions have influences on one another.

Choice of hydrogen energy storage in salt caverns and horizontal cavern construction technology

Journal of Energy Storage, 2023
This study investigated the large-scale hydrogen storage in several forms of underground space (depleted gas reservoirs, aquifers, hard rock caverns, and salt caverns,). according to relevant geological, technical, environmental, health and financial factors, different alternatives of underground hydrogen storage were evaluated.

Deep salt-cavern abandonment

2017
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

Energy Storage in Salt Caverns: the Role of Insar Monitoring

The Fourth EAGE Global Energy Transition Conference and Exhibition, 2023
Natural gas is predicted to play an integral part in the energy transition. Its role in facilitating a progressive shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy is highlighted by its lower carbon emissions when compared to other fossil fuels. However, challenges persist given the uneven global distribution of natural gas and significant seasonal ...

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 ...

Numerical Modeling of the Complex Behavior of Salt Caverns

International Geomechanics Symposium, 2022
Abstract Rock salt is a very complex material. Simulation of the non-linear and time-dependent mechanical behavior of salt caverns requires advanced constitutive models, relevant sets of parameters and accurate numerical computations. No well-known software packages were designed initially for salt caverns; they had

Safety evaluation of salt cavern gas storage close to an old cavern

International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences, 2016
Abstract 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

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 the construction of energy storage salt caverns in bedded salt

Applied Energy, 2019
Abstract 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.

Salt as an agent in the development of cavernous weathering

Geology, 1987
A well-recognized spatial association exists between cavernous weathering and the presence of soluble salts. Disaggregation of rock in caverns is attributed to mechanical pressures exerted by crystallization and/or hydration of salts. However, scanning electron micrographic analysis demonstrates that solutional etching is the major weathering process ...
