Deep Underground Science and Engineering, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 709-724, December 2025.A one‐dimensional diffusion‐based mass transport model was built using PHREEQC to highlight the potential challenges posed by thermochemical sulfate reduction (TSR) in depleted gas fields. The results obtained indicated that the presence of iron minerals (pyrite and hematite) is crucial for H2S generation through TSR reactions.

Rapid Depresurizations: Can they lead to irreversible damage?
, 2012 International audienceRapid gas depressurization leads to gas cooling that is followed by slow gas warming when the cavern is kept idle. The decrease in the temperature of gas depends upon the relative withdrawal rate (in %/day), and cavern size and ...
