Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5066650
An analysis of alternate means of managing Caverns 15, 17, and 20 at the Strategic Petroleum Reserve Bayou Choctaw storage site is presented with emphasis on techniques that can be used to assure cavern structural stability even after five oil drawdown cycles. The evaluation includes the use of brine for drawdown, the operation of two of the caverns as a gallery, the selective leaching of an existing cavern, and a feasibility assessment of using idle caverns as a source for brine. 6 references, 12 figures.
