Pilot Abandonment Test of a Very Deep Gas Storage Salt Cavern

Abstract: Résumé -Expérience pilote d'abandon d'une cavité saline de stockage de gaz très profonde -En raison de connaissances acquises initialement à partir d'une série d'essais in situ sur des puits et des cavités salines, réalisés vers la fin des années 80 et début 90 par Gaz de France, les enjeux relatifs à l'abandon à long terme des cavités salines ont commencé à être mieux compris. Ces expérimentations ont été réalisées en étroite collaboration avec l'École Polytechnique (France) et le Solution Mining Research Ins… Show more

“…Improper abandonment can lead to environmental damage, risk to nearby populations and clean-up and management-response costs. Some suggestions for risk mitigation procedures, mostly addressing brine thermal expansion, have been proposed [3][4][5] but no mitigation for cavern structural instability is currently available. A procedure for backfilling a cavern can provide a load-bearing structure to support both the cavern roof as well as the side walls while additionally reduce the risk of salt fracture.…”

“…Because rock salt is characterized by favorable rheology [2,3], low permeability [4,5], and self-recovery after damage [6], underground salt caverns are the optimal medium for the storage of hydrocarbons, including natural gas [7], oil, compressed air [8], hydrogen [9][10][11], and radioactive waste [12]. Compared with other reserve types for natural gas, including aquifers and depleted reservoirs, salt cavern gas storage is safer and has a higher percentage of cushion gas and a more flexible injection mode.…”
