Title:
DISTRIBUTED NATURAL GAS STORAGE SYSTEM(S) USING OIL & GAS & OTHER WELL(S)
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004063621
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention revolves around the incorporation and use of existing drilled wells, either dry holes, abandoned or converted producing wells and/or new, to be drilled wells or any other well(s), of any diameter and any depth, located, sited, designed and fabricated to store and cycle compressed natural gas or other gasses or hydrocarbon liquids within the contained cavity of the well-bore casing in any volume and with any degree (high or low) of deliverability. Each of the well(s) can then be incorporated with additional facilities, depending upon designed use and process (use and process as discussed within the patent application), such as standard telemetry, automation and integration equipment, compressors, pressure reducing regulators, turbo-compressors (for electrical and or mechanical power creation), distributed power generator engines, measurement equipment and other components for compressing and storing the gas or hydrocarbon liquids within the system at a range of rates, and then cycling the gas out of the well(s) for a number of business applications. The well(s) can also be incorporated with standard electronic communication devices to automate and integrate them within other systems such that they can be controlled remotely and automatically from any location.
