Solution Mining Research Institute (SMRI) Technical Conference, from 27 to 30 April in Wilhelmshaven, Germany

FrHyGe partners participated at the Solution Mining Research Institute (SMRI) Technical Conference, from 27 to 30 April in Wilhelmshaven, Germany

📌 4 technical paper presentations were featured:

🔹April 28 – Geostock

👉 Mechanical Integrity Tests in Salt Caverns: Modeling of the Leakage of Nitrogen, Hydrogen, and Methane Through a Given Leakpath to support tests interpretation:

🎯 One of the project goals is to support the salt cavern storage industry in developing standards for tightness testing of H₂ storage caverns. To this end, Geostock and consortium partners have recently modeled the flow through hypothetical leak paths using different gases and models.

📣 These results were presented by Vincent Barrere, with Arnaud Réveillère and Mehdi Karimi Jafari
