An underground storage unit for storing bulk sulfur includes a base layer comprising leachate collection pipes arranged to form a grid of cells, and high strength sulfur positioned at each cell, an intermediate layer comprising high strength sulfur side walls extending from a perimeter of the base layer, and bulk sulfur positioned on top of the base layer, a top layer positioned at an extent of the side walls and comprising a first sub-layer formed from high strength sulfur, a second sub-layer formed from a rigid moisture resistant material, and a third sub-layer formed from top soil, and one or more hatches positioned at the top layer that provide access to the bulk sulfur of the intermediate layer.

An uphole section has a first diameter. A midhole section has a second diameter that is larger than the first diameter. The midhole section is attached to the uphole section prior to installation into a wellbore. A downhole section has a third diameter that is smaller than the second diameter. The downhole section is attached to the midhole section prior to installation into the wellbore.

Producing gas through variable bore production tubing

Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method: Historical and forecasted field life data for existing gas wells is received, including pressure and temperature data at different depths of the existing gas wells over the life of the existing gas wells. Using the historical and forecasted field life data for the existing gas wells, a sub-erosion production rates model is generated for in situ estimation of sub-erosion for gas wells. Well parameters for a subject gas well are received. Using the well parameters of the subject gas well, the sub-erosion production rates model is executed to identify high-erosion risk spots in the subject gas well, including using iteratively evaluating results using three different methods. Outputs of the sub-erosion production rates model are provided for presentation to a user in a graphical user interface (GUI).
