A complete set of reports was produced by the Gas Storage Technology Consortium managed by the Penn State Energy Institute from 2004-2006. Reports include topics on:
This work was funded in part, under the Department of Transportation, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. The views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as representing…
Wellhead seals are a key component of reservoir and salt-cavern storage wells that function to seal the well from the external environment and separate stored fluids contained within the well. Loss of integrity of these seals or seal failures are a…
The purpose of this study was to locate a reservoir simulation model that will predict the mixing of gases in a gas storage reservoir. The three major mechanisms that govern a mixing process are gravitational effects, molecular diffusion, and…
Summarizes the results of a literature survey on the use of seismological techniques for the detection of gaseous hydrocarbons. The study was undertaken in order to determine possible applications of high-resolution reflection seismology to the…
Efforts at determining the suitability of EMATs to perform cement evaluation in gas-filled boreholes (e.g., gas storage wells) as well as a casing to cement micro annulus evaluation.
This research report examines the reasons cement used in wells can deteriorate and fail. If the cement fails a leak pathway can form through which fluids can flow outside the well casing from one zone in the well to another and potentially reach the…
Pipeline Research Council International, Inc. (PRCI) contracted C-FER Technologies (1999) Inc. ("C-FER") to conduct a laboratory testing program to evaluate the performance of various casing corrosion logging techniques and tools. An additional…
Fundamentally, measurements of the temperature and pressure within a cavern are required to estimate the gas inventory. To obtain these measurements, downhole wireline logging has been the conventional industry standard, and several calculation…
Pipeline Research Council International (PRCI) contracted C-FER Technologies (1999) Inc. (C-FER) to conduct a measurement and analysis project on Characterization of 4.5" Casing Corrosion Features. Casing samples removed from natural gas storage…
