Definitions
- the subject of the invention is a method for digging, by dissolution, a cavity in a ground comprising at least one layer containing in most salt to dissolve.
- the invention aims more particularly to obtain, after digging, an underground cavity allowing the storage of a fluid and especially natural gas in a layer of stratified salt whose thickness is typically of the order of a few tens of meters, and more particularly between 30 meters and 100 meters.
- Salt can in particular be constituted by sodium chloride (NaCl) or chloride potassium (KCl), without this being restrictive.
- the object of the invention is in particular to propose a solution whose cost related to the volume of the cavity will be low.
- the invention aims to improve the shape of the cavity obtained to adapt it to the shape of the salt layer and thus increase its volume.
- the cavity to be submitted during its operation gas storage it is necessary to control the spread of dissolution in order to obtain a final cavity having a shape mechanically stable.
- the cavity obtained must provide a satisfactory seal against the external environment.
- Document US-A-3,510,167 discloses a process to improve the dissolution rate of a salt layer consisting of pass the solvent beforehand in another layer of salt in order to increase its density.
- this method is far from the invention. Indeed, this process does not control the shape of the cavity obtained.
- the present invention aims, for its part, at get a single cavity.
- the final cavity will be produced from a succession of sub-cavities whose size, and in particular the height, can be controlled individually.
- the shape of the cavity can thus be better adapted to the shape of the salt layer. Variations in the height of the cavity may especially be better controlled. This can be achieved without reaching the layer limits, mechanical stability and tightness of the cavity can be obtained by keeping a thickness of salt or brine all around.
- the invention proposes that connect the last sub-cavity to the extraction duct, and inject the solvent successively in each of the sub-cavities.
- This solution is simple and makes it possible to dissolve the salt substantially only in a sub-cavity at a time. Indeed, although the brine passes in all the sub-cavities separating the cavity into which the solvent is injected from the last sub-cavity, in practice due to its saturation in salt, the dissolution is not essentially produced only in the sub-cavity where the solvent is injected.
- the invention also provides different solutions for making canals.
- the isolated channels of the salt are produced by having casing sections in the borehole tight against the solvent and guiding the brine in these sections of casing.
- This solution requires a longer implementation, but does not does not require a stable layer vis-à-vis the circulation of the brine (absence of dissolution, moderate erosion, ).
- the seal between the cavity and the adjacent land can be obtained by retaining a thickness of brine between the cavity and the adjacent terrain.
- these channels isolated from the layer containing the salt to be dissolved are made by drilling in an adjacent ground to said salt layer and containing little or no salt soluble by the solvent. This solution is quick to implement and requires few resources materials.
- Figure 1 is illustrated a terrain comprising a layer 1 with a majority of salt. This layer is between two other 2, 4 mineral layers contained in the soil containing little or no salt.
- a borehole 8 was made using drilling means (not represented) considered to be known.
- This drill hole includes a substantially vertical section 8a extending from the ground level 6, up to the salt layer 1, an elongated substantially horizontal section 8b extending in the salt layer 1 to an end 8d and an angled section 8c connecting the vertical sections 8a and horizontal 8b.
- an elongated casing 14 internally having a channel 24 is introduced into the borehole 8 and in particular in its horizontal section 8b.
- a sealing material 16, comprising here cement is placed by injection between the casing 14 and the borehole 8. This material 16 seals between the casing 14 and the salt layer 1.
- a cutting device 10 is then introduced into the casing 14.
- a device is notably marketed under the reference MILL MASTER and the SERVCO brand (registered trademark).
- the cutting device is connected to the surface 6 by a drill rod 12 allowing in particular the positioning of the device 10, its guidance along the casing and its energy and fluid supply.
- the apparatus 10 is capable of eliminating from place to place, here by abrasion in specific areas 20b, 20c the casing 14 as well as the thickness of sealing material 16, up to come into contact with the salt layer 1.
- This device travels along inside the casing from one specific area to another inside the casing 14 as indicated by arrow 18.
- the sealing material could alternatively be abraded using a device sold under the SERVCO brand (registered trademark) and the Rock Type reference Undereamer.
- the sub-cavities 20a, 20b, 20c, 20d, 20e, 20f are linked in pairs between a first sub-cavity 20a and a last sub-cavity 20f by channels 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d, 24e arranged inside casing sections 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d, 14e remaining after abrasion of the casing 14 in the different determined zones.
- a 24f channel arranged at the interior of the casing 14 connects the cavity 20f to the surface of the ground 6.
- a tube 22 is introduced concentrically into the channel 24 of the casing, advanced into the sub-cavity 20a by crossing each of the sub-cavities 20f, 20e, 20d, 20c, 20b and passing through each of the channels 24f, 24e, 24d, 24c, 24b, 24a.
- This tube 22 has a notably outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the casing 14 in order to allow a fluid circulation between the tube 22 and the casing 14 in the channels 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d, 24e, 24f.
- the tube 22 has an orifice 22a forming an injection point and intended to allow the injection of a solvent of the salt, here water, in the different sub-cavities 20a, 20b, 20c, 20d, 20e, 20f.
- a solvent of the salt here water
- an injection pump 28 operates pressure the water injected by the tube 22 forming an injection conduit.
- the water injected by the injection point 22a into the last sub-cavity 20a digs the salt layer 1 by dissolving the salt in this sub-cavity 20a.
- Brine formed by dissolving salt in water circulates in a space of communication formed by channels 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d, 24e and the sub-cavities 20b, 20c, 20d, 20th, 20f.
- This pressurized brine is extracted from the sub-cavity 20f via channel 24f forming extraction channel.
- the communication space constitutes an open circuit of circulation of water in the form of brine. Between two sub-cavities, the water is guided in a channel which isolates it from the salt layer 1, the casing and the sealing material being waterproof against water.
- the dissolution takes place essentially in the sub-cavity 20a where the water is injected.
- FIG. 7 several sub-cavities 20a, 20b, 20c have been dug by dissolution.
- the dissolution of each of the sub-cavities is stopped before reach the mineral layer 2 located above the salt layer 1, so sealing.
- the length of channels 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d, 24e and blanks of cavities 20a, 20b, 20c, 20d, 20e, 20f illustrated in Figure 4 has been chosen to allow communication between the different sub-cavities at the end of the dissolution.
- variations in dimensions and particularly of height between the final cavity formed by the union of all the sub-cavities and the salt layer will be relatively weak.
- the length of the channels is about 50 meters
- the length of the blanks of cavities about 100 meters for a thick layer of salt approximately 100 meters.
- the borehole 8 may have a diameter on the order of a few centimeters, and advantageously around 25 centimeters.
- the blanks of sub-cavities 120a, 120b, 120c, 120d and channels 124a, 124b, 124c, 124d are made directly during the operation drilling.
- the borehole 108 and more precisely the section generally horizontal 108b, includes a succession of sections made in the salt layer 101 (which form the blanks of sub-cavities 120a, 120b, 120c, 120d) and of sections made in the mineral layer 104 located under the salt layer 101 (which form connecting channels 124a, 124b, 124c, 124d waterproof against water, since the mineral layer 104 is assumed not or only slightly soluble in the solvent).
- the digging of the various sub-cavities is carried out in a way comparable to the variant described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7.
- the tube 122 has been advanced into the first sub-cavity 120a.
- the solvent is injected by the injection point 122a into the cavity 120a, dissolves the salt, then passes successively through channels 124a, 124b, 124c, 124d and the blanks of sub-cavities 120b, 120c, 120d, 120e.
- the brine formed by dissolving the salt is extracted from the cavity 120e by the extraction channel 124f.
- the last sub-cavity 120e is being digging.
- the channels 124a, 124b, 124c, 124d play a role similar to that of channels 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d, 24e of Figures 4 to 7 by isolating the water from the salt layer.
- the invention is in no way limited to the embodiments described above.
