Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and to apparatus for the storage recovery of gases soluble in liquid hydrocarbons in and from underground cavities, caverns or voids.
  • German Auslegeschrift No. 1,246,641 there is described a method for the subterranean storage of liquids in a cavern in a salt deposit.
  • the pressure of a compressed medium is used for withdrawing the liquid through a rising tube.
  • the method is characterized in that for the storage only part of the cavern is filled with the liquid to be stored, there being introduced over the liquid, and preferably up to the roof of the cavern, cushion of liquefied gas in equilibrium with the overlying vapor phase, the depth of the cavern, the level of'the liquid stored in the cavern and the height of the cushion of liquefied gas being so selected that upon withdrawal substantially all of the liquid is removed or extracted from the cavern when all of the liquefied gas has evaporated.
  • This method has the disadvantage that the salt cavern is not always completely filled with the stored liquid. Moreover, this method is used exclusively for the storage of liquids, the dissolved gas serving solely as the drive medium for the extraction or withdrawal of the liquid.
  • the latter method involves exclusively the storage of gaseous hydrocarbons.
  • the invention disclosed in US. Pat. No. 2,930,197 relates to a method and to apparatus for the storage of gaseous petroleum components or derivatives under high pressure in caverns, and particularly to the storage of such components as ethylene.
  • the gas is stored by introducing it into the cavern through a pipe line which terminates below the surface of a quantity of oil pumped into the cavern. As the gas rises through the oil, a portion of the rising gaseous petroleum constituents dissolves in the oil. The undissolved gas is returned to the first pipe line through a second pipe line provided in the aboveground portion of the borehole tubing and is then pumped back into the body or pool of I oil in the cavern. This process is repeated until the oil is saturated with the gas.
  • the internal pressure in the cavern may amount to about 32 to atmospheres according to the amount of ethylene dissolved in the oil, for example n-heptane.
  • the gas is recovered by opening a valve in the' above-ground portion of the borehole generally occur depths of salt deposits is unable to prevent the cavern from being reduced in size and even being completely closed by the flowing together of rock salt already plasticized by the rock pressure.
  • Caverns constantly filled with a liquid are much less susceptible to these convergence-accelerating tendencies.
  • the shrinkage may even be virtually completely suppressed if the pressure of the liquid completely filling the cavern is increased to the order of magnitude of the rock or roof pressure. This occurs automatically where the discharge of liquid from a cavern with liquid is stopped by means of a shut-off device or valve provided at the top of the borehole.
  • the internal pressure produced in the cavern by residual shrinkage approaches asymptotically the rock or roof pressure with simultaneous utilization of the compressibility of the fluid.
  • a method for the storage in, and recovery from, an underground cavern a gas solublized in a liquid hydrocarbon solvent therefrom which comprises introducing the gas to be stored into a cavern which is completely filled with liquid all or a part of which comprises the solvent toforrn a rich solvent solution of the gas and recovering the dissolved gas by withdrawing rich solvent from the cavern and thereafter reducing the pressure on the rich solvent in order to liberate the dissolved gas, while replacing the rich solvent with a pressureequalizing amount of a liquid comprising lean solvent or a displacement liquid or both.
  • the gas or gases to be stored are introduced through a feed pipe which extends to the lower part of a subterranean cavern which is filled completely with liquid hydrocarbons in which the gases dissolve, the cavern being in communication through a. borehole with aboveground, the gases being recovered by withdrawal of the liquid hydrocarbons containing the dissolved gases by expansion.
  • the gas tobe stored may be any normally gaseous material, for example, hydrogen, methane, ethane, propane, ethylene and'propylene.
  • the method according to'the-invention affords the advantage that the cavern is filled completely with a liquid medium and a deformation or reduction in the size of the cavern is thus substantially avoided.
  • a distinctivefeature of the method according to the invention comprises replacing rich solvent withdrawn from the cavernv with a volume of liquid corresponding to the volume of withdrawn liquid is introduced to the cavern so that the liquid volume may remain equal and the pressure ratios or conditions may be maintained substantially constant.
  • Theliquid so introduced may comprise lean solvent or may comprise a higher specific gravity liquid which is preferably introduced through a further pipe which extends into the lower part of the cavern and terminates below the orifice of the gasfeed pipe.
  • the preferred liquid of higher specific gravity is water, particularly salt water which is introduced into the cavern.
  • the salt water in the sump or bottom of a salt cavern may be used for equalizing the liquid volume and for maintaining substantially constant the pressure ratios or conditions.
  • the invention also comprises apparatus forcarrying out the method, the apparatus being characterized in that the borehole extending into the underground cavity or cavern is associated with a feed pipe one end of which extends into the lower zone or part of the cavern whilst its other end aboveground is connected by a pipe line to a device for conveying the gaseous hydrocarbons to be storedQthe upper end of the borehole being also connected by a further line to a separator in which the stored rich solvent may be separated into lean .solvent and a gas.
  • This apparatus enables the gases which are to be stored to be introduced into the lower part of the subterranean cavern filled with liquid which consists wholly or for the major part of one or more liquid hydrocarbons, so that the gases as they rise are dissolved in the liquid hydrocarbon solvent as a result of the prevailing pressure conditions.
  • the cavern is filled with liquid as far as the borehole annular space disposed aboveground, to produce the internal pressure.
  • the distinguishing feature of another embodiment or modification of the invention consists in-the provision of a further pipe by which salt water, for example, in the sump of the cavern is placed in communication with an equalizing or expansion tank disposed above ground, the further pipe being mounted coaxially with the feed pipe to projectbeyond, and preferably from, the top and bottom ends of the pipe.
  • Theequalization or balancing of the volume by the salt water in the lower zone of the cavern may thus be carried out simultaneously with the withdrawal of the dissolved gases without the stored liquid material returning or flowing to the equalizing or expansion tank.
  • the subterranean cavity'or cavern 4 contains, preferably, crude oil .which is free from gas under normal conditions, or a gas-free fraction of refined product thereof, for example a gas oil which is a petroleum fraction having a boiling range between kerosine and light lubricating oils.
  • Methane for example, is more readily absorbed at low temperatures than at temperatures corresponding to'the temperatures which exist in the deposits, stratum or strata in which the cavern is disposed, but the fluids in the cavern are subject to the high pressure applied by the weight of the salt water column which extends to above ground level. Where a depth of 1,000 meters is involved, the pressure may for example, amount to 120 atmospheres. Solubility increases in direct proportion to the pressure. At temperature of 35C.
  • the solubility of methane in gas oil is about 40 normal cubic meters of gas per cubic meter of gas oil. This implies that 200,000 ,cubic meters of gas oil absorb 8 million normal cubic meters of gas with only a slight increase in the total volume. Up to 14 million normal cubic meters of gas may be stored by increasing the pressure in the cavern, which pressure may be increased to about 200 atmospheres where a depth of 1,000 meters is involved. Y
  • a virtually total recovery of the gas without any residual gas cushion in the store cavern may be obtained in optional cycles by pressure release.
  • the pressure on a volume of the fluid mixture withdrawn from the store cavern is reduced in a separating installation to substantially atmospheric or a still lower pressure.
  • the gas can be passed without further treatment by means of a low-pressure compressor installation to a consumer whilst the liquid product of pressure release, namely the liquid hydrocarbon or hydrocarbons, for example the gas oil, is simultaneously pumped back into the cavern.
  • the gas tobe stored is passed through line 1 to a high-pressure compressor 2 which forces the gas into an annular space 3 ,in a feed pipe 5 which extends into the lower section of a'subterranean cavern 4, the annular space 3 being formed by the feed pipe 5 and an inner coaxial pipe 6.
  • the cavern 4 is filled mainly with The gas introduced under pressure is, as it rises in the oil filling of the cavern, absorbed by the oil; this process may be continued to saturation point.
  • a gas cap develops at the upper end 9, that is at the position of the lowest pressure.
  • the gas cap may be discharged through a separator 10.
  • the dry gas leaving the separator is then returned by a low-pressure compressor 11 to the gas network through the conduit 1.
  • the oil which separates from the gas in the separator 10 is returned by means of a pump 12 to the annular space 3 and thus to the lower section of' the cavern.
  • the oil in the cavern Upon absorption of the gas, the oil in the cavern increases slightly in volume. This increase in volume is equalized through the pipe 6 which dips into the body of saltwater 7 present in the lowermost part of the cavern 4, a volume of salt water equal to such increase in volume being fed from theupper end of pipe 6 through a line 13 to a salt water tank- (not shown). Salt water returns from the tank to the cavern 4 along the same path when the volume of the oil in the cavern is reduced as a result of gas being withdrawn from the cavern.
  • An equalization of the volume is not necessary when the increase in volume which would otherwise occur can be taken up by the compressibility of the liquids in the cavern in the form of a pressure rise without the walls of the cavern being fractured; this is dependent upon the depth at which the cavern is disposed, that is to say, upon the geological conditions.
