Finite element analyses were performed to estimate axial deformation of cavern wells due to gas storage operations in solution-mined salt caverns. Caverns shrink over time due to salt creep and the cavern roof subsides potentially threatening well integrity. Cavern deformation, deformation of salt surrounding the cavern and impacts on well integrity were quantified using a generic geomechanical finite element model that resembles gas storage operations in solution-mined caverns in the Netherlands. The analysis results show that the largest deformation occurs at the floor and the lowest section of the side wall of a cavern, while the roof deformation is typically one order of magnitude smaller than those of the floor and the wall. The predic...
