Energy producers and utilities use oil and gas reservoirs for gas storage to meet peak seasonal demand or to supplement intermittent energy production. These reservoirs are also suitable for the long-term storage of carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas. This study reports on a reconnaissance analysis of the potential …
Currently, existing energy storage technologies can be divided into the following categories based on the type of storage medium: (1) Mechanical energy storage technologies, including pumped hydro storage [14, 15], compressed air energy storage [16, 17], carbon dioxide and supercritical carbon dioxide energy storage [18, 19], flywheel …
Abstract. A large number of oil wells have been or will be abandoned around the world. Yet, a very large amount of oil and energy is left behind inside the rocks in abandoned reservoirs because of technological and economic limitations. The residual oil saturation is usually more than 40%, and in shale reservoirs it can be more than …
Abstract. Considering that injection–production of underground gas storage (UGS) is characterized by periodic and dramatic change, effective and fast model for predicting the pressure of UGS would not only be a valuable tool to figure out pressure variety but also of great benefit in optimizing injection and production. This study …
The objective of this study is to estimate the storage capacity of depleted Oil and gas reservoirs in indonesia using the methodology, developed by carbon Sequestration leadership forum (cslf). Screening result from our databases showed there Were 103 depleted oil and gas fields were considered depleted from their np/ult ratio (hydrocarbon …

The maxi- mum depth of drilling capacity for Section 0 was 90 m, 300 m for Section 1, 800 m for Section 2 and from 1800 m to 3300 m for Section 3. The average cost for drilling to a depth of 2175 m is shown in Table 5. The total average drilling cost for a geothermal well at Hengill is approxi- mately 4.6 million USD.
Investigators from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) have successfully demonstrated a functioning geothermal battery system within the Illinois basin. This is the first field investigation using a geothermal energy storage system in an abandoned oil and gas well. Abandoned oil well. Image used courtesy of Adobe Stock.

Enlisting Abandoned Oil and Gas Wells as ''Electron Reserves'' There are millions of inactive oil and gas wells in the U.S. Could they be given a second life in energy storage? Justin Gerdes ...
Abandoned oil and gas field Lanzhot-Brodske North (LBr1) on the territory of the Czech Republic was selected for the preparation of a pilot research project of the geological CO2 storage. It is situated in the Northern part of the Vienna Basin, close to the Czech-Slovak border.
Section snippets Concept definition In the proposed concept, the storage system is integrated to a wind turbine via a hydraulic system as shown in Fig. 5. When wind drives the rotor aerodynamically, the wind energy …
Natural gas loss inevitably occurs during gas injection and production operation in underground gas storage. At present, the study of gas loss is only in the qualitative description stage and cannot meet the quantitative evaluation requirements for economical gas storage. Combining the theory of inventory analysis and the …

A new study, led by civil and environmental engineering professor Tugce Baser, is the first field investigation of a geothermal energy storage system within the Illinois Basin—a geologic structure located deep within the subsurface. More information: Josiane Jello et al, Advanced geothermal energy storage systems by repurposing existing oil …
In oil and gas fields, there are numerous abandoned wells that are distributed in a network pattern. The reuse of abandoned wells for CO 2 storage can reduce storage costs and pollution. Previous studies have been limited to single-well …
Results show that 213 oil fields and 2,639 gas fields with a reservoir temperature above 100 C and buried depth of 800 m or deeper are suitable for the CO 2 storage and heat mining projects.
