Abstract: Principles of geochemical monitoring of underground gas storage facilities are discussed with illustrative examples from natural storage reservoirs, storage caverns in rock and salt, and production wells. Parallels to petroleum exploration are presented with examples of leaking petroleum reservoirs from the Western Overthrust Belt. Surface geochemical methods are useful not only to identify leakage, but to monitor the efficiency of repairs or other remedial action. Applications of geochemical monitoring to a catastrophic leak on the Barbers Hill Salt Dome are discussed. The result of these observations of leaking wells suggests that preventive geochemical monitoring of underground storage facilities can provide and early warning of impending problems.
