Site screening for underground energy storage should begin with regional assessment and selection of areas for further detailed field study. Then, field mapping and geophysics surveys are to be followed by drilling, coring, and laboratory analysis to define geologic conditions in the overburden and reservoir.
The site selection for underground energy storage is dependent upon several factors, mainly related to geological and engineering issues, such as: the type of candidate rocks, structural issues, tectonics and seismicity issues, hydrogeological and geothermal issues and also geotechnical criteria.
Thermal and thermodynamics properties and behaviour of the rocks should also be considered as part of the studies developed when evaluating large-scale underground energy storage reservoirs.
