Performance Prediction of Underground Gas Storage in Salt Caverns
Energy Sources Part B: Economics Planning and Policy, 2007Co-Authors: A. Suat Bagci, E. OzturkAbstract:Abstract Underground Gas Storage is a common activity in countries with major transport and distribution Gas pipeline infrastructures, which allows to efficiently resolve demand seasonality problems. Subsurface caverns in salt formations are being increasingly used for Storage of natural Gas. In this study, a real salt cavern having the potential for being an Underground Gas Storage unit was evaluated. A model of the salt cavern was constructed within the Gas simulator established for the purposes of this study. The simulator IMEX that is CMG's (Computer Modelling Group) new generation adaptive implicit explicit simulator was used to investigate the production and injection performance and depth of caverns. Grid description of the salt cavern was used. Theoretically a cylindrical prism was chosen for modelling of the salt cavern. The production and injection well was set in the middle of the salt cavern. The place of the salt cavern was chosen in Tuz Golu field in central Turkey. The data of this field an...

Underground Gas Storage Facilities - CHAPTER 14 – Automation
Underground Gas Storage Facilities, 1995Co-Authors: Orin FlaniganAbstract:This chapter discusses various aspects of automation of Underground Gas Storage facilities. The original purpose of Underground Storage was to act as a supplemental supply when customer demands were beyond the limits of the normal sources of supply. As manpower costs grew and Gas control centers became more automated, it was a natural trend that automation of Storage facilities would be increased. In addition, common usage developed a practice in Storage facilities that was not planned for in the early facilities. During the early stages of automation of reciprocating compressors the prevailing attitude by operating companies was that the compressor manufacturers should design and manufacture the control equipment to start, stop, and monitor the engine-compressors while they were running. The glycol dehydrator is another operating unit that sits in the cold for long periods of time and is then called to be put on the line in a short period of time. It is found that although the starting of glycol dehydrators in cold weather does not present a large problem, some measures make the effort easier. The common use of some of the monitoring equipment has altered the price structure and the operating and safety advantage that is gained by having the additional monitors has caused an increase in the sophistication of the equipment in manned stations.

Underground Gas Storage Facilities - CHAPTER 12 – Compressors
Underground Gas Storage Facilities, 1995Co-Authors: Orin FlaniganAbstract:This chapter elaborates the use and application of compressors in Underground Gas Storage service. The volume of Gas that is handled during the withdrawal cycle usually determines the number and size of compressor cylinders. It is found that when these same compressor cylinders are put into service during the injection cycle, the compression ratio is usually considerably higher. This high compression ratio with the large amount of compressor cylinder displacement tends to overload the engine, requiring more horsepower than the engine rating. It is observed that during the withdrawal cycle the compressor operates at relatively low compression ratios. During the injection cycle the compression ratios is quite high. There are three lubrication options described in the chapter through which compressor cylinders are operated. It is suggested that the compressor cylinders should be examined monthly by an analyzer.

A review of onshore UK salt deposits and their potential for Underground Gas Storage
Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2009Co-Authors: D.j. Evans, Sam HollowayAbstract:The UK faces a major change in the nature of its Gas supply as North Sea production declines and the country becomes increasingly reliant upon Gas imports. As a result the UK Government recognizes that significant investment in Gas supply infrastructure is required to maintain security of supply and manage the Gas market. Part of that infrastructure will be additional Underground Gas Storage capacity in specially designed and engineered salt caverns. This paper summarizes the distribution and nature of halite (rock salt) deposits in England and Northern Ireland, and reviews the details of existing and planned Storage sites in salt caverns. There is considerable potential for further salt cavern development. However, not all of the UK salt fields are suitable, with the halite beds being too shallow, thin or impure.
