A groundwater supply of 600 imperial gallons per minute (27301/min) was required at Landis, Saskatchewan, for development of an underground gas storage cavern with 1.19 × 106 barrel capacity. The cavern was to be developed by dissolving and removing the salts of the Middle Devonian Prairie Evaporite Formation the top of which is 3940 ft (1201 m) below ground surface. It was found that the most productive aquifers were in the glacial drift. Three intertill aquifers were identified. The presence of four till stratigraphic units was used as a basis for the interpretation of the groundwater hydrology. Three pumpwells were completed. Tests and analyses include aquifer coefficients such as transmissivity, storage coefficients, vertical permeability, and estimates of safe yields. A monitoring system was also established to measure the effect of high production on local domestic wells. This project demonstrated the value of establishing a formal stratigraphic system for interpretation of aquifer properties in glacial deposits.

Biogenic gas within a deltaic deposition environment in the Kapuas rivermouth of West Kalimantan occurred in fine to very fine quartz sand reservoir of shallow boreholes of having the depth of 1-12 m below ground surface. This reservoir is covered by peaty layers of semi-impermeable property. During high tide, gas bubbling took place in the water column above the ground of these semi-impermeable layers. Utilizations of biogenic gas had been done succesfully. These works were carried out through drilling, piping, gas storage and installations for gas stove and gas electricity generator of 500 watt capacity at chief village house as an example before widely used to the local community.

Gas biogenik dalam suatu lingkungan pengendapan delta di muara Sungai Kapuas Kalimantan Barat terdapat dalam reservoar pasir kuarsa berukuran halus hingga sangat halus pada kedalaman bor dangkal 1-12 m di bawah permukaan tanah. Reservoar ini ditutupi oleh lapisan gambut semiimpermeabel. Selama pasang naik, gelembung gas teramati dalam kolom air di atas permukaan lapisan semi-impermeabel ini. Pemanfaatan gas biogenik telah dilaksanakan dengan sukses. Pemanfaatan ini dilakukan melalui pemboran, pipanisasi, penampungan gas dan instalasi untuk kompor gas dan generator listrik berbahan bakar gas kapasitas 500 watt di rumah Kepala Desa sebagai contoh sebelum dimanfaatkan secara luas oleh masyarakat setempat.

With the increasing energy demands of current modern society, underground gas storage (UGS) in gas fields is the most popular type of UGS used to meet the seasonal variation of gas consumption. However, compared with gas fields, UGS in gas fields has the characteristics of periodic high-speed injection and production of exploitation modes and operation rules, which causes the rules of gas-water seepage and utilization of reserves to be more particular and complicated. In this paper, based on Wen 23 gas storage, the rules of multicycle injection and production flow and the utilization of UGS pore volume were investigated. The experimental results showed that variation in porosity and permeability caused by injection and production pressure changes in Wen 23 gas storage can be neglected. The pore volume of gas storage and the degree of gas recovery increased gradually in the pre-UGS gas zone, which was higher than that of reservoirs. In the initial stage of UGS operation, the pore volume of gas storage and the degree of gas recovery were low in the gas-drive-water gas zone as a result of water invasion during the process of reservoir exploitation. During operation of multicycle high-speed injection and production, the seepage conditions in the gas-drive-water gas zone gradually improved. The higher the reservoir permeability, the greater increases in pore volume and degree of gas recovery. In the gas-water transition zone, gas and water were reciprocated and displaced with the multicycle injection-production of UGS, resulting in the gradual deterioration of pore volume and gas recovery, which remained stable at a low value. The negative effects of reservoir heterogeneity on the effective utilization of UGS occurred in the gas-water transition zone. These findings may contribute to a better understanding of the rules of multicycle injection and production flow and utilization of UGS to optimize the injection-production efficiency of Wen 23 gas storage.
