Abstract

In order to ensure the long-term safe operation of gas storage facilities, this chapter reviews the development of integrity management in the gas storage industry, proposes processes and standards suitable for gas storage integrity management, and introduces in detail the processes for ensuring the integrity for geological gas storage bodies, injection and production wellbores, surface auxiliary facilities, and so on. Focused on gas reservoir gas storage facilities, specific design integrity and construction integrity processes are proposed. Moreover, according to the salt cavern index evaluation system and the land subsidence model, a salt cavern stability evaluation method for underground gas storage spaces is proposed. Finally, the successful application of integrity management in China’s gas storage industry is analyzed through an example.
