- Description
- The objective of the National Energy Technology Laboratory's (NETL's) Natural Gas Storage Program, and the upcoming solicitation, is to encourage and support research and technology development to advance natural gas storage, transmission, and distribution technologies to enhance operational flexibility and deliverability of the Nation's gas storage system, and provide a cost-effective, safe, and reliable supply of natural gas to meet demand in new and expanded market regions. To achieve program objectives, DOE/NETL, through the Strategic Center for Natural Gas, will be requesting applications addressing, but not limited to, the following topics: 1) Thin-bedded salt cavern design technology - seeks proposals to investigate long-term geotechnical integrity of bedded salt cavern designs. The ability to develop stable gas storage caverns in thinly bedded salt could have implications for new storage capacity in the Eastern, Northeast, and Midwest United States. Proposed research could include geologic analysis, failure analysis and definition, and improved geotechnical design to mitigate possible failure. 2) Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Applications in Gas Storage - seeks proposals to investigate applications of LNG for conventional storage and distributed, or peaking power generation. 3) Hydrate Control - seeks proposals for control of natural gas hydrates formed in storage wells and gathering lines during rapid withdrawal operations. 4) Deliverability enhancement - seeks proposals that will increase deliverability from aquifers and depleted oil and gas reservoirs. This could include "smart" storage systems that will optimize storage field operations. Proposed approaches are anticipated to develop new or novel technologies, or suggest innovative applications of existing technologies. Efforts can encompass any combination of theory, laboratory validation of concepts, or field validation of concepts. The overall goal of this solicitation shall be to work toward a demonstration of the technology at a commercially scalable size.
