Natural gas underground storage: inventory and deliverability

Storage service critically depends on inventory and deliverability. Tek covers everything you need know to have a more efficient operation. Contents: Concepts of inventory Fundmentals of hysteresis performance Practical use of hysteresis charts in inventory verification Inventory verification using storage operations data & in storage reservoirs subject to water dive Errors and uncertainty in inventory verification in underground storgage Basic concepts & fundamentals of flow through porous media Semi-steady-state & unsteady-state flow in storage reservoirs Special topics on gas deliverability Equations describing flow through wellbores Temperature distribution in storage wells Effect of two-ohase flow on deliverability from storage Design development, operation, performance, & thermodynamics of storage in salt cavities Overveiw of underground storage in salt cavities Temperature & pressure effects in salt cavities during peak shaving withdrawals Recent developments in salt cavity storage Appendices.

Inventory and deliverability are two of the main attributes in underground storage of natural gas. They relate to the amount of energy in supply and the rate at which it can be committed to market demand. This three-part practical text presents the state of present technology for design and performance analysis.

Tek’s book will help readers understand the fundamentals and practical aspects of the various storage systems and receive a complete review as well as the latest concepts of gas technology. Readers will also gain background on the problems and prospects in design and development of salt cavities in storage.
