Tightness Tests in Salt-Cavern Wells [PDF]
Thousands of caverns have been leached out from salt formations. They are used for storing a variety of fluid products ranging from compressed air and hydrogen to LPG, natural gas and crude oil, which requires that the caverns be tight. The main factors in the onset of well leakage and its prevention are discussed: fluid pressure distribution ...

Disposal of NORM Waste in Salt Caverns [PDF]
Abstract Some types of oil and gas production and processing wastes contain naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM). If NORM is present at concentrations above regulatory levels in oil field waste, the waste requires special disposal practices. The existing disposal options for wastes containing NORM are limited and costly. This

Stability Analysis on the Long-Term Operation of the Horizontal Salt Rock Underground Storage
The construction of the vertical cavern in the salt dome deposit can meet the requirements of both storage capacity and tightness. However, if the vertical cavern is still used as the design shape of the salt rock underground storage in the layered salt ...

Impact of thixotropy on flow patterns induced in a stirred tank : numerical and experimental studies [PDF]
Agitation of a thixotropic shear-thinning fluid exhibiting a yield stress is investigated both experimentally and via simulations. Steady-state experiments are conducted at three impeller rotation rates (1, 2 and 8 s−1) for a tank stirred with an axial ...

Multiphase Flow and Cavern Abandonment in Salt [PDF]
This report will explore the hypothesis that an underground cavity in gassy salt will eventually be gas filled as is observed on a small scale in some naturally occurring salt inclusions. First, a summary is presented on what is known about gas occurrences, flow mechanisms, and cavern behavior after abandonment.

New technologies for site selection and evaluation of salt-cavern underground gas storages
In order to meet the demand of constructing salt-cavern underground gas storages (UGSs) in favorable salt mines for the regions that are neither major oil and gas production zones nor major natural gas consumer markets in South China, and solve the ...
