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 ...

Haze, Rain and Temperature Inversion in Gas-Storage Salt Caverns
56th U.S. Rock Mechanics/Geomechanics Symposium, 2022ABSTRACT: 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.

Rock mechanics for gas storage in bedded salt caverns
International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences, 1997Abstract 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
2023With 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.

Modeling and Analysis of Salt Cavern Natural Gas Storage
SPE Production and Operations Symposium, 2013Abstract 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
1989The 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.

Phenomenological Inventory Analysis of Underground Gas Storage in Salt Caverns
SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 2002Abstract 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 ...

Effective Modeling and Analysis of Salt-Cavern Natural-Gas Storage
SPE Production & Operations, 2014Summary 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 formations. Computational-fluid-dynamics (CFD) and heat-transfer-modeling approaches

Reliability Analysis of Completion Casing in Salt Cavern Gas Storage
ICPTT 2011, 2011The loads subjected to completion casing of salt cavern gas storage is relatively complex, including internal and external pressures, creep loads, and axial forces, etc. Furthermore, these loads, dimensions, and properties of casing are random values and obey some distribution rules.
