METHOD OF ENHANCING METHANE STORAGE CAPACITY IN SALT CAVERNS
20230296205 · 2023-09-21 · ·

The present disclosure is directed toward a method for storing methane. The method for storing methane comprises several steps. A dissolving fluid comprising water is injected into a salt formation to produce a brine and a salt cavern within the salt formation. The brine is then removed from the salt cavern. A sorbent is then placed within the salt cavern before methane is injected into the salt cavern.

Method and system for selecting and using a salt cavern to store very pure hydrogen

The invention generally relates to a method and system for storing hydrogen product in a salt cavern. The method is directed to substantially confining a high purity hydrogen stored within the salt cavern by maintaining the stored hydrogen at a pressure between a lower limit and an upper limit within the cavern, whereby the salt cavern forms a substantially impermeable barrier to the stored hydrogen therein between the lower limit and the upper limit and wherein the improvement over the predicate art enables the upper limit to exceed about 1 psi per liner foot of cavern depth.

CARBON SEQUESTRATION METHODS AND SYSTEMS
20210356680 · 2021-11-18 ·

Methods of sequestering carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2) are provided. Aspects of the methods include contacting a CO.sub.2 containing gaseous stream with an aqueous medium under conditions sufficient to produce a bicarbonate rich product. The resultant bicarbonate rich product (or a component thereof) is then combined with a cation source under conditions sufficient to produce a solid carbonate composition and product CO.sub.2 gas, followed by injection of the product CO.sub.2 gas into a subsurface geological location to sequester CO.sub.2. Also provided are systems configured for carrying out the methods.

Underground storage system with V shaped support legs

Individual four-sided shaped modules used in an assembly for underground storage of storm water and other fluid storage needs. Modules are assembled into a resultant four-sided tiling shape for maximized structural strength and material use efficiency. Internal four-sided shaped modules are assembled and encased by external four-sided shaped modules. Internal adjacent modules are in direct fluid communications with one another through a channel-less chamber. Internal four-sided shaped modules drain into four-sided shaped modules chamber where fluid is either stored or drained. Assemblies include various top and side pieces along with access ports for entry into said assembly.

Slurrification and Disposal of Waste By Pressure Pumping Into A Subsurface Formation
20210348481 · 2021-11-11 ·

A computerized method for management of a slurry injection well and the associated surface facility. The method utilizes real time and historical data of injection and slurry parameters in conjunction with computer simulations on a computer-modelled reservoir to predict well behavior during one or a series of injection events. The system determines optimized injection operation schedules, recommends and implements changes to an injection operation, including while in process such as through automated equipment control.
