Underground Gas Storage reservoirs provide temporary storage for natural gas in subsurface rock. A natural seal or barrier is necessary to confine the stored gas. During periods of low gas demand, the reservoir is filled with gas. During periods of high demand, stored gas can be used to insure that a steady supply is available for consumers.
For those interested in gas storage, IGS Special Report 01, Underground storage of natural gas in Indiana, 1963, and IGS Special Report 59, Underground storage of natural gas in Indiana (revised), 1998 are useful resources.
