Hi,

I want to know how the maximum working gas (top gas) volume at normal state is calculated for a salt cavern. I know the cavern volume and the maximum and the minimum pressure at the depth of the casing shoe and the quality of the stored natural gas. Can anyone give me the calculation formula with explanations ?
