The Basics of Underground Natural Gas Storage
Depleted oil and natural gas reservoirs are the most commonly used underground storage sites because of their wide availability. In some areas, most notably the Midwestern United States, natural aquifers have been converted to natural gas storage reservoirs.
Hydrogen storage in depleted gas reservoirs: A comprehensive ...
2023年4月1日 · This study aims to provide comprehensive insight into H 2 storage in depleted gas reservoirs. This will be achieved by presenting a comparative characteristic of H 2 with CH 4 and CO 2 (as they are the conventional geo-storage gases) and their immobilization methods in the subsurface.
A review on underground gas storage systems: Natural gas ...
2023年12月1日 · Kanaani et al. (2022) have discussed the role of cushion gas on underground H 2 storage (UHS) in depleted oil reservoirs. They found methane (CH 4) serves better as a cushion gas than nitrogen (N 2). In addition, they found that …
Natural gas storage - Wikipedia
There are three principal types — depleted gas reservoirs, aquifer reservoirs and salt cavern reservoirs. Each of these types has distinct physical and economic characteristics which govern the suitability of a particular type of storage type for a given application.
2023年10月20日 · Underground geological storage of hydrogen in depleted gas reservoirs (i.e., gas reservoirs or fields once production operations have ceased) has emerged as one of the more attractive options for large-scale, seasonal storage because of its effectiveness and relatively low cost. This study seeks to
CO2 storage in depleted gas reservoirs: A study on the effect ...
2018年3月1日 · Depleted gas reservoirs are recognized as the most promising candidate for carbon dioxide storage. Primary gas production followed by injection of carbon dioxide after depletion is the strategy adopted for secondary gas recovery and storage practices.
Underground Natural Gas Storage
Natural gas is stored underground primarily in three reservoir types: depleted oil and natural gas fields, salt formations and depleted aquifers. Natural gas may also be stored above ground in refrigerated tanks as liquefied natural gas (LNG). There are approximately 400 active underground storage facilities in 30 states.
