Potential of Underground Hydrogen Storage in Oman

Hydrogen can provide a viable source of energy that covers the world’s requirement in next coming years. One major keys to wholly develop hydrogen is safe, cost efficient and compacted type storage. Geological reserves are considered suitable space for In this research, we trying examine if there was any technical potential storage based on Oman’s geology by Identifying geological deposit Oman be used analyzing salt deposits suitability. By overviewing possible underground methods geology, deep aquifers were not storage; due lack large sedimentary basin, no experience similar projects risks associated with surrounding environment. Depleted reservoir needs more study deployment; experiences such UHS. Salt basins good candidate basin Oman, caverns known successfully contain guaranteed safety Analysing depth dome, thickness dome size. The main findings illustrate that, two domes (Qarn Shamah Qarn Alam) offering estimated working gas volume around 90 m3 (0.2 TWh). Nevertheless, future work needed confirm geotechnical feasibility terms internal complex structure, chemical composition purity salt.
