Abstract
ABSTRACT Salt cavern gas storage facilities integrate functions such as seasonal peak shaving, emergency gas supply, and strategic reserves. Compared to other types of gas storage, they have advantages such as large storage capacity, high safety, and suitable geological conditions. This article analyzes the current status of salt cavern gas storage construction in China, the methods of cavern creation, and key cavern construction technologies. It concludes that there is a significant contradiction between the supply and demand of natural gas in China, leading to a strong demand for gas storage construction. To adapt to the complex geological conditions of salt mines in China, it is necessary to steadily advance the engineering practice of new energy storage theories and cavity creation technologies, while simultaneously promoting research on key technologies such as cavity monitoring, cavity simulation, and sediment space utilization. In addition, given that China’s salt cavern gas storage sites are developing towards deep salt mines, it is necessary to increase research on the special design and material selection of the upper wellbore structure of ultra deep salt cavern gas storage chambers, in order to provide theoretical and technical support for China’s future energy underground reserve construction.
