Abstract

Summary

By the start of Ukraine war, the need of energy supply in the cold seasons is completely clear for everyone. The use of underground gas storage reservoirs is a commonly known method in the world to compensate for the shortage of gas in cold seasons. In this process, the surplus of natural gas in summer is injected into a porous underground rock with a suitable cap rock to meet the high consumption requirements in cold seasons. In this study, the feasibility of natural gas storage in a depleted reservoir was investigated. The effect of two parameters of injection rate and molecular diffusion on the mixing rate and thus, the quality of the produced gas was investigated. different injection and production scenarios against the quality of produced gas were studied. The non-Darcy effect was also considered for this study. As a result, the percentage of nitrogen and methane produced after six months of gas production was calculated for each scenario.
