“…There is a vast literature about salt caverns and most of it is found in review articles (Raza et al 2018;Warren 2017;Mahlia et al 2014;Bai et al 2018;Behr 2005;Budt et al 2016;Blanco and Faaij 2018;Bachu and Dusseault 2005;Zemke et al 2005;Tarkowski and Czapowski 2018;Gutiérrez et al 2019;Ma et al 2018). Some articles are related to storage of CO 2 (Almenningen et al 2018;Trippetta et al 2013;Davison 2009;Bachu et al 2007;Dixon et al 2015;Farhat and Benson 2013;Kim and Santamarina 2014;Jeandel et al 2010;Manancourt and Gale 2005;Okandan et al 2011;Bordenave et al 2013).…”

This paper presents a new challenge under study in Brazil: the offshore storage of natural gas and CO 2 in salt (halite) caverns opened by solution mining in shallow and ultradeep water. The salt rock mechanics in Brazil started with the underground mining of sylvinite (NaCl.KCL) overlying tachyhydrite (CaCl2.MgCl2.12H2O) and research initiated in the 1970s (Costa 1984), to enable the mining of this ore. Applying a numerical simulation of drilling and excavation, the exploration and operation of mines were possible for more than 35 years. The same technology has also been used in the stability analysis of several salt caverns opened by solution mining of halite (NaCl). With the discovery of the giant pre-salt reservoirs in Brazil, underlying about 2000 m of stratified salt rocks, with the presence of tachyhydrite, all the knowledge acquired in the conventional and solution mining designs was ready to be used. More than 200 pre-salt wells have been designed and drilled successfully using the same methodology and computer codes. These approaches are proposed here as a solution to the presented challenge.
