Course Overview

The development of salt caverns for compressed air and hydrogen storage is experiencing significant growth. Ensuring the safe and efficient operation of these storage systems requires a thorough understanding of the mechanical stability of salt caverns under varying operational conditions. This can be achieved through numerical simulations, validated by benchmarking against laboratory and field observation data. This course will address many of the challenges associated with simulating salt caverns, many of which are also relevant to porous reservoir modeling. Participants will gain insights into the complexities of these systems and the methodologies for tackling them effectively.
