Overview of Solution Mining Technology for Salt Cavern Gas Storage
Salt cavern gas storage is rapidly developing in China,and research about salt cavern gas storage has been carried out in areas where salt mines are rich,such as Shandong,Hubei and Jiangsu.Solution mining technology is one of the key technologies in the construction of salt cavern gas storage.This paper introduces several common solution mining technologies,such as single well convection,single well oil(gas)cushion convection,horizontally butted well production,small-spaced double wells single cavity,etc.,and systematically analyzes the suitable scenarios and application situations of different solution mining technologies,compares their advantages and disadvantages,and provides reference for the selection of solution mining technology in subsequent salt cavern gas storage.
