An Integrated Experimental–Numerical Framework for Distributed Fiber-Optic Monitoring of Creep-Induced Deformation and Micro-Leakage in Deep Salt-Cavern Gas Storage Wellbores

Abstract Long-term operation of deep salt-cavern gas storage subjects the wellbore barrier system to high temperature, high pressure, cyclic injection–withdrawal loads, and time-dependent salt creep. These coupled processes may lead to casing deformation, cement-sheath damage, annular sealing degradation, and eventuall...
