SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR STORING AN ENERGY- STORAGE FLUID WITHIN A SUBTERRANEAN FORMATION HAVING SUPPRESSED MICROBIAL ACTIVITY

A method for storing an energy-storage fluid within a subterranean formation having suppressed microbial activity includes injecting a high-salinity aqueous solution into the subterranean formation via at least one injection wellbore extending from a terranean surface and penetrating the subterranean formation, such that at least a portion of the high-salinity aqueous solution is held within the subterranean formation. The high-salinity aqueous solution includes water and an inorganic salt, and is configured to suppress microbial activity in the subterranean formation. The method also includes injecting the energy-storage fluid into the subterranean formation via the at least one injection wellbore to store at least a portion of the energy-storage fluid within the subterranean formation.

LIQUID NATURAL GAS PROCESSING WITH HYDROGEN PRODUCTION

Devices, systems, and methods for liquefied natural gas production facilities are disclosed herein. A liquefied natural gas (LNG) production facility includes a liquefaction unit, a gas turbine, and a hydrogen generation unit. The liquefaction unit condenses natural gas vapor into liquefied natural gas. The hydrogen generation unit generates hydrogen. At least a portion of the hydrogen formed in the hydrogen generation unit is combusted, along with hydrocarbons, as fuel in the gas turbine.

HYDROGEN ENRICHED GAS STORAGE

A method for subsurface gas storage including injecting a hydrogen stream into a subsurface reservoir for storage during periods of low sales demand, mixing the hydrogen stream in the subsurface reservoir with a stored gas, and removing the hydrogen from the subsurface reservoir during high sales demand.
