Title: Factors affecting storage of compressed air in porous-rock reservoirs

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6270908· OSTI ID:6270908
; ; ;

This report documents a review and evaluation of the geotechnical aspects of porous medium (aquifer) storage. These aspects include geologic, petrologic, geophysical, hydrologic, and geochemical characteristics of porous rock masses and their interactions with compressed air energy storage (CAES) operations. The primary objective is to present criteria categories for the design and stability of CAES in porous media (aquifers). The document will also describe analytical, laboratory, and field-scale investigations that have been conducted.
