Underground Natural Gas Storage

Underground natural gas storage involves placing excess gas into large, subterranean facilities such as depleted oil or gas fields, salt caverns, or porous rock formations. These storage sites act as reservoirs, allowing companies to hold gas when supply exceeds demand and withdraw it when needed, ensuring a stable and reliable supply. This process helps manage seasonal variations, market fluctuations, and emergency needs. The stored gas remains trapped in the underground formations until it is pumped out and used, making underground storage a crucial part of modern energy infrastructure for balancing supply and demand efficiently.
