    摘要: In order to form galleries or other subterranean cavities in the bed of a sheet of water, for example for the construction of a subterranean reservoir for storing petroleum, or for exploiting submarine deposits, a floating structure, comprising at least one and preferably two hollow shafts, is ballasted so that it rests upon the seabed or underwater surface, a bore is excavated in extension of each hollow shaft, down to the desired depth, a casing tube is inserted there, extending to above the sheet of water, and one of said casings is used as an access means for the excavation of the galleries or cavities, whilst the other if used to remove the spoil.

    摘要: The imperviousness of an underground storage cavern for hydrocarbons in a water-impregnated rock formation is predicted and monitored by progressively increasing the pressure in the cavern and using pressure sensors placed around the cavern to monitor the gradient of the hydraulic pressure potential .phi. in the rock formation during the pressure rise in order to check that the gradient is not inverted.

    摘要: In order to provide safety in a borehole communicating in particular with a cavity washed out from rock salt and containing gas under pressure, the prior art provides devices suffering from the drawback of reducing the flow sections through the tubes in the borehole. The present invention minimizes this section reduction by means of a hollow cylindrical sleeve closed inside by a plug and including ducts formed in its wall in such a manner as to cross over the flows of fluid taking place respectively in a central tube of the borehole and in the annular space between the central tube and a peripheral tube. In one embodiment of the present invention, the sleeve is sandwiched between portions of the central tube and of the peripheral tube, with safety valves advantageously being mounted on the portions of central tube above and below the sleeve. This provides a safety system suitable for implementing the method of the invention by being connected in line with the central tube and the peripheral tube of the borehole. As a result, both the flow established in the central tube and the flow established in the annular space can be stopped in the event of an accident by the valves without the valves significantly reducing the normal flow section of the central tube. When exploiting a well in "dual completion" mode, this structure also provides significantly larger flow sections than provided by prior art tube systems.

    摘要: During the process of cooling, the stresses in the earth pass first through a maximum compression and then this gives place to traction up to the moment when fissures appear. The application of cooling is conducted so as to reduce the size of these fissures and to prevent their propagation through the compressed zone. They are plugged preferably by spraying water in the course of application of cooling.

    摘要: A method of putting under gas a saline cavity 3 for storing a gaseous substance, the cavity being formed by being washed out in rock salt and being filled with brine 5 once the washing-out step has been completed, the cavity includes a bottom 31 and a roof 30, a well 1 drilled for washing-out purposes opening out in the roof and putting the saline cavity into communication with the surface, the well also serving as an injection well for inserting the gaseous substance to be stored. The method includes a step of drilling an associated dewatering well 4 from the surface in the proximity of the injection well, the dewatering well meeting the saline cavity close to the bottom thereof so as to dewater the brine from the cavity through said dewatering well as the gaseous substance is injected into the cavity via the injection well.

    摘要: A draining well (2) extending downwardly from the bottom (3) of an underground cavity for storing liquefied gas under pressure has an upper portion (9) of large area and a lower portion (10) of smaller area. The volume of the upper portion is sufficient for filling a service tube (5) with water up to its hydrostatic equilibrium level. This enables the depth of the draining well to be reduced and thus makes such a storage facility cheaper to produce.
