An Attempt to Asses Suitability of Middle-Poland Salt Domes for Natural Gas Storage / Ocena Przydatności Środkowopolskich Wysadów Solnych Do Magazynowania Gazu Ziemnego

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to assess geological conditions in Middle-Poland salt domes and their suitability for natural gas storage. The starting point to the assessment were statistical distributions of caverns depth and volume in Mogilno CUGS. The distributions were generalized to other domes using the part of anticline forms in the salt mirror surface. The expected average cavern volumes, depths with their standard deviations are evaluated. Storing capacity of the caverns and the risk of a borehole unsuitable for cavern location are also given.
