  Energy storage gained vital resource in the highly competitive energy market. The study looked at storing liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), in depleted reservoirs that have run dry. A synthetic reservoir model was built. It featured constant porosity and an initial oil in place of 0.25858E+09 STB. Also, it had an initial gas in place of 0.32839E+12 SCF using a numerical simulator. Different scenarios were simulated to assess reservoir behavior in various circumstances. LPG injection and production scenar- ios varied widely during tests. Results showed the potential benefits of using depleted reservoirs for LPG storage. Challenges remained regarding long-term viability. The research highlighted both successes and failures in the approach taken to store LPG effectively. Further studies could explore alternative methods for energy storage. The findings indicated that utilizing depleted rese.. Read More»
