Underground Gas Storage Facilities

Underground gas storage facilities are large natural or man-made spaces beneath the Earth's surface used to store natural gas. These facilities help manage supply and demand, ensuring gas is available during peak usage or emergencies. They typically involve empty underground rock formations, depleted gas fields, salt caverns, or aquifers that can safely contain the gas. Gas is injected when demand is low and withdrawn when needed, which helps stabilize prices and maintain a reliable energy supply. These facilities are a critical part of the natural gas infrastructure, supporting energy security and efficient resource management.
