SALT DOME STORAGE

Natural gas, crude oil and other fuels have been stored in underground salt domes and salt caverns for nearly seventy years. There are many reasons that salt domes and salt caverns are used for natural gas storage as well as crude oil storage and storage of other petroleum based hydrocarbons. Chief among these are that salt dome storage provide; energy/fuel efficiencies, security, safety, strategic supply solutions, ability to meet peak demand requirements, cost-savings and protection from; fire, vandalism, hurricanes, tornados, acts of terrorism and all with extremely low environmental risk... In the next 10-15 years, 50% of the oil produced in the USA will be through Enhanced Oil Recovery technologies. And 50% of this amount will be produced by CO2-EOR... The Enhanced Oil Recovery industry represents a $30 Trillion market, (in the USA) with oil priced at $100 per barrel.
