Underground gas storage
Underground gas storage involves injecting natural gas into deep underground rock formations, such as depleted oil or gas fields, aquifers, or salt caverns, for later use. This method allows for reliable, large-scale storage of gas, balancing supply and demand especially during peak usage times or emergencies. The stored gas is kept under pressure to prevent leaks, and advanced monitoring ensures safety and integrity. This technique helps stabilize energy supplies, supports market flexibility, and enhances energy security without disrupting current infrastructure.
