Compositional variation of the Zechstein Group in the Norwegian North sea: Implications for underground storage in salt caverns

Abstract: Halite beds in the upper Permian Zechstein Group represent an opportunity for the future development of underground storage caverns. However, geological factors such as lithological heterogeneities, cap rock characteristics and depth can affect the sealing capacity and the integrity of the cavern or contaminate the stored fluid. The main objective of this paper is to evaluate these factors focusing on the compositional variation of the Zechstein Group in different salt structures in the Norwegian North Sea, an… Show more

“…12). The observations made in Estopanyà point to a high geothermal reservoir potential of diapir margins, especially in the case of permeable breccias, which would serve to other buried salt-embedded basins, such as those described in the offshore of the South-Central Campos Basin (do Amarante et al, 2021), the Gulf of Mexico (Hudec et al, 2009), the South East Pre-Caspian Basin (Duffy et al, 2017), the Central North Sea (Pichat, 2022;Marín et al, 2023) or the Lower Congo Basin (Ge et al, 2021).…”

“…Therefore, salt structures and their associated sedimentary basins may constitute proper analogues of sedimentary reservoirs sealed by evaporites, which often include high thermal conductive salts such as halite (over 6 Wm − 1 K − 1 at 20 ºC, Clauser and Huenges, 1995). This scenario puts saltembedded basins and minibasins in the focus of geothermal exploration as potential targets (Raymond et al, 2022;Duffy et al, 2023;Marín et al, 2023) (Fig. 1).…”
