Abstract

The paper describes the geological and geotechnical investigations and engineering design and execution for the construction of an LPG underground storage in an impermeabilized rock cavern in silicified chalk above the watertable. It explains the ecological, technical, economical and safety reasons which are the basis for this novel approach for hydrocarbon underground operational storage.Le document donne la déscription des raisons géologique, géotechnique et le dessin et l'éxecution d'engineering pour la construction d'une stockage sous terraine de LPG dans une cavem excavé en grès silicifié acec un systeme d'impermeabilisation. Les raisons d'écologie d'économie, securité et technique sont expliqués et ou peut considerer cette solution comme pilote pour la solution de stockage d'hydrocarbure operationelle.
