Underground salt caverns are widely used in large-scale energy storage, such as natural gas, compressed air, oil, and hydrogen. In order to quickly build gas reserves, an unusual building method was established. The involves using the existing left over from solution mining of storages. 2007, it first applied Jintan Natural Gas Storage China. Based on this successful project, several were scree...

Using underground space to store natural gas resources is an important means by which solve emergency peak shaving of gas. Rock salt storage widely recognized due its high-efficiency and environmental protection. Damage stress concentrations inside the cavern injection during withdrawal operations throughout facility life have always been among most safety issues. Therefore, accurate evaluation...

To prevent climate change, Europe and the world must shift to low-carbon renewable energies. Hydrogen, as an energy vector, provides viable solutions for replacing polluting carbon-emitting fossil fuels. Gaseous hydrogen can be stored underground coupled with existing natural gas pipe networks. Salt cavern storage is best suited technology meet challenges of new systems. Hydrogen caverns are cu...

The simultaneous occurrence of subcutaneous emphysema and intravascular air due to an air embolism is a rare condition. Here, we report a patient with COPD who developed a severe episode of hemoptysis due to rupture of a previously undiagnosed lung cavern. Intubation and ventilation led to the development of both massive subcutaneous emphysema and a massive air embolism, resulting from aspirati...

Global shipping activity emits significant amounts of GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions, estimated to be around 2-3% total global emissions. Studies have been made for hydrogen refuelling hubs in the Pacific area, container ships, that are worst polluting sources oceans. The present paper will show an idea creating such using salt cavern storage Black Sea, and also other offshore places where geol...

This article addresses the question whether time-lapse seismic reflection techniques can be used to follow and quantify the effects of solution salt mining. Specifically, the production of magnesium salts as mined in the north of the Netherlands is considered. The use of seismic time-lapse techniques to follow such a production has not previously been investigated. For hydrocarbon production an...
