Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5714942
;

This report documents the cavern integrity test of Bayou Choctaw cavern 17 conducted between October 16 and December 30, 1985. This test included a nitrogen leak test of the single cavern entry well, 17, at near maximum operating pressure. Test results indicate a nitrogen loss rate of 840 bbl/yr. This leak rate can reasonable be assumed to correspond to an oil loss rate of 84 bbl/yr, compared to the Department of Energy loss limit goal of 100 bbl/yr. 4 refs., 13 figs.
