LPG AND REFINED PRODUCTS STORAGE IN SOLUTION-MINED CAVERNS IN BEDDED AND DOMAL SALT DEPOSITS IN TEXAS AND MISSISSIPPI
Louis Dreyfus Highbridge Energy LLC (LDH Energy) began adding solution-mined storage caverns to its transportation and distribution infrastructure in 2004 and now has a total of 36 wells at two locations in Texas and one location in Mississippi. The Mont Belvieu, Texas, facility has approximately 47,000,000 barrels of storage in 24 active caverns. The Baden, Texas, facility has about 240,000 barrels of storage capacity in four active bedded salt caverns. The Hattiesburg, Mississippi, facility has approximately 6,000,000 barrels of storage in three active caverns. LDH Energy has been storing liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) but has recently converted some of that capacity to store refined motor fuels, including ultra-low sulphur diesel and gasoline. This paper describes the features and some of the challenges at the three storage facilities.
