Advanced Underground Gas Storage Concepts: Refrigerated-Mined Cavern Storage, Final Report

Limited demand and high cost has prevented the construction of hard rock caverns in this country for a number of years. The storage of natural gas in mined caverns may prove technically feasible if the geology of the targeted market area is suitable; and economically feasible if the cost and convenience of service is competitive with alternative available storage methods for peak supply requirements. It is believed that mined cavern storage can provide the advantages of high delivery rates and multiple fillwithdrawal cycles in areas where salt cavern storage is not possible. In this research project, PB-KBB merged advanced mining technologies and gas refrigeration techniques to develop conceptual designs and cost estimates to demonstrate the commercialization potential of the storage of refrigerated natural gas in hard rock caverns. Five regions of the U.S.A. were studied for underground storage development and PB-KBB reviewed the literature to determine if the geology of these regions was suitable for siting hard rock storage caverns. Area gas market conditions in these regions were also studied to determine the need for such storage. Based on an analysis of many factors, a possible site was determined to be in Howard and Montgomery Counties, Maryland. The area has compatible geology and a gas industry infrastructure for the nearby market populous of Baltimore and Washington D.C..As Gas temperature is lowered, the compressibility of the gas reaches an optimum value. The compressibility of the gas, and the resultant gas density, is a function of temperature and pressure. This relationship can be used to commercial advantage by reducing the size of a storage cavern for a given working volume of natural gas. This study looks at this relationship and and the potential for commercialization of the process in a storage application. A conceptual process design, and cavern design were developed for various operating conditions. Potential site locations were considered and a typical plant layout was developed. In addition a geomechanical review of the proposed cavern design was performed, evaluating the stability of the mine rooms and shafts, and the effects of the refrigerated gas temperatures on the stability of the cavern.Capital and operating cost estimates were also developed for the various temperature cases considered.The cost estimates developed were used to perform a comparative market analysis of this type of gas storage system to other systems that are commercially used in the region of the study. ADVANCED UNDERGROUND GAS STORAGE CONCEPTS REFRIGERATED-MINED CAVERN STORAGE FINAL DRAFT REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARYOver the past 40 years, cavern storage of LPG's, petrochemicals, such as ethylene and propylene, and other petroleum products has increased dramatically. In 1991, the Gas Processors Association (GPA) lists the total U.S. underground storage capacity for LPG's and related products of approximately 519 million barrels (82.5 million cubic meters) in 1,122 separate caverns. Of this total, 70 are ha...

Designing Tunnel Support in Jointed Rock Masses Via the DEM

10A systematic approach of using the distinct element method (DEM) to provide useful insights for 11 tunnel support in moderately jointed rock masses is illustrated. This is preceded by a systematic 12 study of common failure patterns for unsupported openings in a rock mass intersected by three 13 independent sets of joints. The results of our simulations show that a qualitative description of the 14 failure patterns using specific descriptors is unattainable. Highlights 36• a systematic approach of using the DEM as a design tool for tunnel support is demonstrated 37• the concept of an interaction diagram of rock bolt spacing against lining thickness is 38 illustrated 39• methods to verify DEM calculations against available analytical solutions are provided 40• a systematic analysis of the failure mechanisms occurring for unsupported tunnels for 3 joint 41 sets is run 42
