Abstract

In recent years, the geomechanical demand for the design of new gas storage caverns has changed significantly. Because relatively large temperature differences due to the operation of the caverns may occur, thermodynamic calculations of the gas temperature within a geomechanical design load case cannot be neglected. The dimensioning of a gas storage cavern is based on thermodynamic aspects, taking into account the location-specific thermal system parameters such as the primary rock mass temperature, the temperature distribution after the leaching phase in the vicinity of the cavern, the ratio of the volume to the surface, the heat transfer coefficient, the thermal conductivity and the specific heat capacity. Some of these parameters must be assumed from the experience with other cavern projects before the solution phase is finished. After a few years of operation these parameters should be checked in a back-analysis on the basis of the operation data. This paper deals with the leaching phase of a cavern created by solution mining and the resulting temperature and stress conditions in the rock mass surrounding the cavern and investigates the need for the accuracy of the engineering idealizations of this phase for the back-analysis.
