Underground Gas Storage

The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the history of and the prospects for natural gas storage in various types of underground facilities at home and also abroad. To learn, on the basis of critical analysis and synthesis of input knowledge, how to propose and implement a methodology for the exploration of suitable structures. Further, to evaluate these suitable structures – especially with focus on gas reservoirs, in which mining is being completed, and aquifers – from the point of view of possible storage capacity. Then to optimize, with the application of mathematical models, the executed calculations of basic parameters, including the injection/withdrawal capacity of operating wells. To use acquired skills subsequently in professional activities.
