Full understanding of the compression and permeability behaviors of weakly anisotropic
sandstones is a major challenge. The present work aims to address this challenging task …

Underground salt caverns are used globally for large-scale energy storage. In the thinly
bedded rock salt in China, two butted-well horizontal (TWH) caverns, as alternatives for …

Salt rock distinguished properties such as creep and tightness make them useful as
underground disposal and storage media. This work presents a comprehensive review of …

A small-spacing two-well salt (SSTW) cavern is a relatively new type of cavern. As this type
of cavern is less frequently used in underground natural gas storages, study on its stability is …

Rock salt in China is primarily bedded salt, usually composed of many thin salt layers and
interlayers (eg anhydrite, mudstone, and glauberite). Thus, the feasibility analysis of …

Hydrogen is an important energy source for achieving energy transition and carbon
neutrality. Underground salt caverns are ideal for large-scale and long-term underground …

Abstract to balance the intermittent of renewable power, large-scale energy storage in
underground salt caverns can be utilized. And the construction and safety evaluations for …

As a major greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide (CO 2) causes climate warming and weather
changes. On the basis of CO 2 disposal/storage in salt caverns in this study, a new carbon …

Underground salt cavern (USC) has emerged as an optimal location for large-scale energy
storage, encompassing oil, gas, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and compressed air energy …

Cemented backfilling has been widely used in underground mines worldwide. The stability
of cemented backfill must be sufficient to maintain the subsequent stope. Investigation into …
