Underground storage of natural gas is and will continue to be a critical component of the natural gas value chain. Underground natural gas storage is facing new opportunities and challenges from changing market situations to changed safety regulations and to the changing concept of gas from traditional natural gas to include biogases and perhaps hydrogen. The committee will focus on: Continued maintenance and improvements to the active database of UGS in operation and UGS projects; Defining best practices in UGS design, operations, and maintenance; Operating UGS in today's markets including support for renewable energy, profitable operations, and new opportunities for UGS.
