Abstract

Due to the need to store large amounts of hydrocarbons in China, it is of great necessity to build more hydrocarbon-storage caverns in China. It is one of the best choices to store hydrocarbons in underground water-sealed hydrocarbon-storage rock caverns. The sealing principle, types and advantages of underground watersealed hydrocarbon-storage rock caverns are presented in the paper and the location selection, design and construction of hydrocarbon-storage caverns are described in detail. The aim of the paper is to summarize the major features and planning, design and construction principles and standards of underground water-sealed hydrocarbon-storage rock caverns. It is stated that the complete technology for the design and construction of underground water-sealed hydrocarbon-storage rock caverns has not yet be formed in China and no guiding specifications are available in China. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to study on the key technologies for the design and construction of underground water-sealed hydrocarbon-storage rock caverns.
