“…With the available evidence it is really difficult to assign any significant correlation between the insoluble contents and the development of hanging string events. As previously noted [Munson et al, 1998], Bryan Mound exhibits the most events. To the contrary, West Hackberry and Big HI1l caverns have relatively few events, even with about the same insoluble contents as the Bryan Mound dome.…”

“…Scatter is +1.670 and -0.890 about the average. For Bryan Mound, there are some earlier calculations [Munson et al, 1998] of the insoluble content of a number of the caverns. While the general calculational approach is the same, the details differ.…”

“…The other question that arises concerns the relationship, if any, between the number of hanging string events [Munson et al, 1998] and the insoluble content of the salt. Each cavern contains a number of long strings of casing or tubing that are suspended vertically from the surface collar of the well into the cavern.…”

“…Just to complete the evolution of the SPR cavern construction design, the earliest caverns were those of Bryan Mound, two and three well caverns constructed between 1980 and 1984. As a general comment, the three well configuration at Bryan Mound resulted in very irregular cavern geometries, which may have contributed to the large number of salt falls in these caverns [17]. The two well cavern configuration eventually predominated at Bryan Mound.…”

Geological H 2 storage plays a central role to enable the successful transition to the renewable H 2 economy and achieve net-zero emission in the atmosphere. Depleted oil and gas reservoirs are already explored with extensive reservoir and operational data. However, residual hydrocarbons can mix with injected H 2 in the reservoirs. Furthermore, low density and high diffusivity of H 2 may establish H 2 leakage from the reservoirs via fault pathways. Interestingly, H 2 can be consumed by microorganisms, which results in pore-network precipitation, plugging, and partial permeability impairment. Therefore, stored H 2 may be lost in the formations if the storage scenario is not planned cautiously. While salt caverns are safe and commercially proven geo-rock for H 2 storage, they have low-storage capacity compared to depleted gas reservoirs. Moreover, salt structures (e.g., domel, bedded) and microorganisms activities in the salt cavern are limiting factors, which can influence the storage process. Accordingly, we discuss challenges and future perspectives of hydrogen storage in different geological settings. We also highlight geographical limitations with diverse microbial communities and theoretical understanding of abiotic transformation (in terms of rock's minerals, i.e., mica and calcite) for geological H 2 storage. Regarding the fundamental behavior of H 2 in the geological settings, it is less soluble in formation water; therefore, it may achieve less solubility trapping compared to CO 2 and CH 4 . Furthermore, H 2 gas could attain higher capillary entrance pressures in porous media over CH 4 and CO 2 due to higher interfacial tension. Additionally, the low viscosity of H 2 may facilitate its injection and production but H 2 may establish the secondary trapping and viscous fingering. Thus, this review documents a blend of key information for the amendment of subsurface H 2 storage at the industrial scale.
