Nitrogen leak test of Strategic Petroleum Reserve Cavern Bayou Choctaw 2

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5648273

A nitrogen leak test was made of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve Bayou Choctaw Cavern 2. Results of the test are inadequate for estimating the cavern leak rate with a high level of confidence. The interpretation of test results believed to be the most reasonable indicates an average nitrogen loss rate of 300 bbls/yr with an 84-percent probability the loss rate does not exceed 1950 bbls/yr. With maximum oil loss rates estimated at one third of nitrogen volume loss rates, corresponding oil loss rates are 100 and 650 bbls/yr. 3 references, 8 figures.
