STORING AND MANUFACTURING HYDROGEN IN HORIZONTALLY DRILLED WELLS

Abstract: a method of constructing a storage well for an energy production system comprising determining a fractured volume of the storage well with a curved wellbore by inputting the curved wellbore path, a set of formation properties, and a fracturing operation, into a fracturing model. the curved wellbore path can promote fracture interference between fracture stresses extending from the storage wellbore path. the energy production system can inject a volume of compressed gas into the fractured volume via the storage wellbore or produce a volume of gas from the fractured volume. a design process can iterate the curved wellbore path of the storage well to create a fractured volume of the storage well greater than a threshold value.
