“…The geometrical parameters of water curtain systems include the length and spacing of the boreholes, the elevation difference between the boreholes and the cavern crown as well as the pressure (or potential) in the water curtain relative to the storage pressure (Kjørholt and Broch 1992;. Few authors have developed the theory and application of water curtain installations (Kjørholt and Broch 1992;Glamheden and Curtis 2006;Haug 2007;Li et al 2009;Wang and Tokunaga 2015;Ghotbi Ravandi et al 2016). Practical design of water curtain system should be based on a combination of theoretical calculations, experience from existing storages and hydraulic testing at the site (Kjørholt and Broch 1992).…”

In this paper the main criteria of the water curtain system for unlined rock caverns (URCs) is described. By the application of numerical modeling and genetic programming (GP), a method for water curtain system pre-design for Iranian crude oil storage URCs (common dimension worldwide) is presented. A comprehensive set of numerical simulations is performed using the finite element based commercial software (COMSOL 5.1) where the results are used as database for genetic programming. Describing equations of water inflow to the filled and empty caverns and water production rate of water curtain boreholes are generated using GP. By equating the proposed equations to each other, water curtain system can be pre-designed. Relative error of the generated GP equations shows their ability and accuracy. Applying a standard regression coefficient method, sensitivity analysis of parameters related to water curtain performance and water inflow to the caverns is performed as well. The results help the design of the water curtain system for crude oil storage caverns worldwide.
