Role of Cushion Gas on Underground Hydrogen Storage in Depleted Oil Reservoirs

Mahdi Kanaani et al.

Summary: Hydrogen storage in underground structures is a vital way to maintain the balance between energy production and consumption, with the potential to convert excess electrical energy into chemical energy for temporary storage. The study found that using methane as cushion gas could achieve a maximum hydrogen recovery rate of 89.7%, while absence of cushion gas led to a higher hydrogen loss.

Capillary Sealing Efficiency Analysis of Caprocks: Implication for Hydrogen Geological Storage

Mirhasan Hosseini et al.

Summary: In this study, the H2 wettabilities of different shales and one evaporite under various conditions were measured, and their effects on the capillary sealing efficiency were analyzed. The results showed that the sealing efficiency of caprocks decreased with varying parameters, except for oil shales which increased with temperature. Additionally, small pore sizes and evaporites were found to have the most efficient sealing conditions.

Underground hydrogen storage in a partially depleted gas condensate reservoir: Influence of cushion gas

Mohammad Zamehrian et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of cushion gas on underground hydrogen storage and found that injecting nitrogen resulted in the highest hydrogen recovery and purity. Storing hydrogen in gas condensate reservoirs led to higher recovery, but most of the injected carbon dioxide was produced during hydrogen production.

Hydrogen wettability in carbonate reservoirs: Implication for underground hydrogen storage from geochemical perspective

Lingping Zeng et al.

Summary: Hydrogen is regarded as a promising renewable energy source to replace fossil fuels and achieve net-zero carbon emissions. Underground hydrogen storage is attracting more attention due to its potential for safe and economical large-scale hydrogen storage. This study used geochemical modeling to interpret the fluid-rock interactions and formation wettability in the H-2 -brine-calcite system. The results showed that temperature, salinity, and organic acid concentration have significant effects on the wettability of hydrogen, providing insights for assessing hydrogen wettability during underground hydrogen storage.

Underground hydrogen storage in a naturally fractured gas reservoir: The role of fracture

Mohammad Zamehrian et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of fractures on underground hydrogen storage and production using numerical simulations. It finds that fractures can accelerate hydrogen production, resulting in higher recovery and purity. However, the purity of hydrogen produced from fractured reservoirs decreases more rapidly than a conventional one. The study also explores the effects of various factors on hydrogen storage, such as fracture system, condensate presence, and injection/production cycles, and identifies nitrogen and methane as promising cushion gas options for hydrogen production in different media.

Geochemical reactions-induced hydrogen loss during underground hydrogen storage in sandstone reservoirs

Zhenkai Bo et al.

Summary: Underground hydrogen storage (UHS) is considered an important energy storage solution, but potential hydrogen loss due to geochemical reactions must be carefully managed. Through geochemical modeling, it was found that increasing temperature and pressure slightly increases hydrogen solubility in brines, while increasing salinity slightly decreases solubility.
