A salt cavern abandonment test

open access: yesInternational Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences, 2001
Thousands of caverns have been leached out from deep salt formations. They are used for saturated brine production and/or hydrocarbons storage. They will be abandoned some day: the access well will be plugged with cement, isolating a large bubble of saturated brine.

Multiphase Flow and Cavern Abandonment in Salt [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
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.
