Storage in Excavated Rock Caverns: Rockstore 77, Volume 1 contains the proceedings of the First International Symposium on Storage in Excavated Rock Caverns held in Stockholm, Sweden, on September 5-8, 1977. The symposium provided a forum for discussing subsurface storage in excavated rock caverns and tackled topics ranging from environmental demands to legislation and safety, economic factors, and experience from existing underground facilities. Technical problems in conjunction with the design and construction of these large underground storage caverns are also considered. Comprised of 33 chapters, this volume begins by looking into the demand for subsurface storage. The first chapter describes the initial and final screening criteria used to identify existing mine sites suitable for the storage of crude oil for the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve Program. The discussion then turns to Japan's primary energy supply, underground hydrocarbon storage, and considerations on their engineering features. Subsequent chapters focus on the use of underground openings excavated in volcanic tuffs in the Cappodocia area in Turkey; the economics of underground gas storage; thermal energy storage in large underground systems and buildings; and storage of additional heat in the use of heat pumps. Underground storage in sewerage systems is also examined. This monograph will be of interest to engineers, contractors, consultants, government officials, representatives of the oil and natural gas industry, and others already involved in or planning to use cavern storage technology.
