Correction: Water Upconing in Underground Hydrogen Storage: Sensitivity Analysis to Inform Design of Withdrawal

Abstract

Correction to: Transport in Porous Media (2024) 151:55–84https://doi.org/10.1007/s11242-023-02033-0. There are three numbers in Table 2 of the original paper that were incorrect. Specfically, the value of the density of hydrogen (H2) for the DB model and the values of density and viscosity of H2 for the TOUGH2 model listed in Table 2 of the original paper were incorrect. (Table presented.) Properties of the H2-water upconing system for comparison against the DB model. Property DB model Used for TOUGH2 Gas cap thickness, total reservoir thickness, and radial extent (outer radius) of the reservoir Infinite, infinite, infinite 50 m, 100 m (with open boundary at bottom), 100 m (open boundary condition) Porosity (ϕ) 0.10 0.10 Permeability (kH) 1.0 × 10−12 m2 1.0 × 10−12 m2 Permeability (kV) 1.0 × 10−12 m2 1.0 × 10−12 m2 Relative permeability (krel) Not applicable Linear with Slr = 0.99 Distance from well to H2-water interface (d) 10 m 10 m Extraction rate of rate of H2 (Qm) − 5.5 kg s−1 − 5.5 kg s−1 Density of water 996 kg m−3 996 kg m−3 Density of H2 7.32 kg m−3 7.87 kg m−3 Viscosity of water 6.54 × 10−4 Pa s 5.11 × 10−4 Pa s Viscosity of H2 9.31 × 10−6 Pa s 9.53 × 10−6 Pa s A corrected Table 2 is shown below. The erroneous values in Table 2 were not used in any of the modeling and simulation. Accurate values for density and viscosity in the modeling and simulation come from CoolProp for the DB model and from EOS7CH for the TOUGH2 simulations.
