YIN Xue-ying, YANG Chun-he, CHEN Jian-wen. Numerical simulation research on long-term stability of gas storage in Jintan Salt Mine[J]. 2006, 27(6).DOI:
salt-cavern gas storage has been adopted widely in developed countries. With the development of Gas Transmitting From West to East Project and natural gas industry
large numbers of gas storage will be built in China
so it is important to analyze the stability of salt cavern. The stability and creep of salt caverns #1 and #2 in Jintan Salt Mine are simulated by the famous finite difference software FLAC3D; and the results show that volume reduce ratio of salt caverns is within 22 percent as running pressure of gas storage between 6 MPa and 14.5 MPa
which can give guidance to build and management of gas storage.
