Salt Cavern Storage

We’ve raised the bar on salt cavern safety.

Salt caverns are essentially impermeable to hydrocarbons and provide a unique and cost effective option for large volume storage of NGLs (ethane, propane, butane and condensate) and crude oils. Rangeland has been in the business of salt cavern storage from our inception, while bringing decades of project development experience from our talented team of professionals. Most recently and over the past five years, Rangeland has supported the completion of more than 200+ salt caverns. Including Natural gas, Dense Phase Ethylene, C2, Propylene, C3, C4, NGL Mix, C5, Cruces and H2.

Rangeland has a dedicated engineering group that supports the complete design and development of caverns, brine ponds and related processing facilities all with system safety as paramount. Often faced with the challenge of handling volatile products under extreme pressures, we moved beyond ‘business as usual’ and worked with our clients to understand their specific issues and risks at hand. Our investments have paid off allowing our team to raise the bar for total system safety; across multiple product streams; across various elements of the whole storage facility.

I really don’t know why anyone would consider going to another engineering company for salt cavern storage. Who has done more than we have in western Canada?

In addition to specific in-house expertise, our team works closely with trusted partners to design all aspects of cavern storage systems including the engineering and mining of the cavern and the associated wellhead and tubular designs. Our trusted third-party affiliates provide geophysical assessments and detailed wash programs which are mated with customized wellbore designs. Collaborating on the sub-surface requirements Rangeland offers a fully integrated system design and provides the procurement services to complete the entirety of the work.
