Published purpose

BGES is proposing to begin to populate a database of geomechanical properties of both salt formations and caprock formations for salt cavern projects for Alberta. In order to properly develop the required workflow and techniques to commercialize Salt Cavern Abandonments in Alberta (Canada). This portion of the projet will address the upfront needs of the project, Academic Study followed by a Laboratory Testing program to populate a database to be later used (outside the scope of this study) populate a geostatistical model and run simulations. The model and simulations will then be used to pilot an actual salt cavern abandonment and be calibrated as the abandonment progresses.
