Study on Multi-factor Optimization of Adjacent Underground Layered Salt Rock Gas Storage Based on RSM

To study the significance of different factors on adjacent underground laminated salt rock storage, 15 groups of simulation tests are designed by using the response surface methodology (RSM), the quadratic response surface model with the midpoint displacement and medial waist stress of the interlayer as the response values is constructed. By analyzing the main effect and interaction of the regression model, the influence of the interaction between pillar width, interlayer thickness, and the location of a single interlayer on the midpoint displacement of the interlayer and the internal waist stress of the adjacent ellipsoidal cavity is studied. The results show that the interlayer thickness is the main effect factor of the midpoint displacement of the interlayer. And the pillar width is the main effect factor of the medial waist stress. When the adjacent storage is designed with as 2.5D pillar width, 2 m interlayer thickness, and the midpoint of the interlayer is located at 0.3H above the cavity, the displacement and stress of the test model are relatively small. The above conclusions can provide a certain reference value for the mechanical analysis of adjacent underground layered salt rock gas storage.
