Ma Xinhua is a professor-level senior engineer. He is an important figure in promoting the construction of underground gas storage in China and a well-known expert in the field of natural gas. He is in charge of the selection of underground gas storage sites in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and along the West-East Gas Pipeline. He established the underground gas storage site selection evaluation index system and methods for use in the complex geological conditions in China, completed a feasibility study of the Jintan Salt Cavern Gas Storage project, and opened up a new field in China, that is, the construction of underground gas storage spaces. He is currently the head of the Research Institute of Petroleum Exploration and Development CNPC, the secretary of the party committee and general manager of Petro China Southwest Oil and Gas Field Company, an executive member of the Chinese Petroleum Society, the director of the Natural Gas Committee of the Chinese Petroleum Society, and the deputy director of the Petroleum Geology Committee of the Geological Society of China. The Professor Ma Xinhua’s technical research team has overcome key technical challenges, such as the efficient injection production in reservoirs with strong heterogeneity, dynamic geological body sealing, deep ultra-low pressure reservoir drilling, completion, reservoir protection, and efficient treatment of large ground flow. This makes the underground gas storage site selection and construction technologies the most appropriate for the complex geological conditions in China and elsewhere in the world.
This book summarizes achievements and technology of China's underground gas storage in the past 20 years based on years of experience and technology accumulated in the construction and operation of gas storages. It also analyses and projects the future construction of underground gas storages in China
Readers can systematically understand the construction status of China's underground gas storages, the difficulties encountered and the process and solution to such difficulties. It provides important theoretical and technical guidance for both in China and the world.
Features of this book are listed as 1. Understand the development history, construction status, development trend of the underground gas storages around the world with countries and regions listed as case studies. 2. Understand the market demand of China's underground gas storages and resource distribution. 3. Understand the underground gas storages already built in China. 4. Understand the integrity management and risk control of the gas storages in China. 5. Understand the operation and management mode of gas storage.
The target audience are those engaging in the research and technical management of the underground gas storage. It’s a valuable reference for both reseachers and college students as well in the fields of underground storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) and helium (He), Power to Gas energy accumulation.
