Underground Storage Facility (USF)

An Underground Storage Facility (USF) is a specialized space located beneath the Earth's surface used to store liquids such as natural gas, oil, or other products safely and efficiently. These facilities help balance supply and demand by allowing excess energy to be stored during periods of low use and withdrawn during high demand. They are engineered with tight seals and pressure controls to prevent leaks and ensure safety. USFs are crucial for energy security, market stability, and emergency preparedness, playing a key role in the management and transportation of energy resources across regions.
