Solicite este trabajo por email a biblio@iapg.org.ar Together with deployment of gas resources in East Siberia planned for the coming decade, a serious concern is helium utilization, its deposits in hydrocarbon accumulations exceeding 5 bln. m3, and its content varying from 0.25 to 0.58%. According to estimates available, demand for Russian resources in order to cover a significant part of the world need for helium will come in 2020–2030s. Helium recovered prior to the period mentioned should be effectually stored in caverns formed in rock salt deposits. The possibility in principle to store helium in salt caverns is based on the experience in operation of underground helium storage in Orenburg region. Geologic possibility of forming large helium storages is based on the universal development of rock salt deposits in East Siberia. In order to estimate a possibility of forming rock salt storages at this territory, the basin has been zoned according to distribution and bedding conditions for salts of various ages, as well as reservoir beds suitable for injection of brine formed during underground reservoirs construction. Following the data available on mining-and-geological conditions of the areas planned for helium storages location, the most rational variants for their construction and operations has been proposed.
