Risk Assessment of Converting Salt Caverns to Natural Gas Storage. Final Report,November 1994-July 1995

摘要

The objective of this paper was an assessment of the risks of release of largequantities of natural gas from salt caverns converted from other uses to the storage of compressed natural gas (CNG). A total of 22 potential root causes for large releases of natural gas from converted salt converns were identified and ranked in terms of relative risk. While this project assessed the relative risks of major gas releases, the absolute risk was determined by implication to be extremely low, as indicated by the historical record.
