| Under Ground Storage (UGS) |
| |
| Transportation of natural gas through high pressure pipelines can be interrupted for various reasons; causing huge losses of production in the downstream industry. Underground storage of gas provides the short term standby reserves to mitigate such risks of interruption in supplies until the main stream supplies are restoredor to meet fluctuations in demand such as winter peak slaving.
UGS projects have been implemented as a viable alternative for the continuity of gas supply across the globe; especially USA, UK, Germany, Russia and Turkey have developed huge UGS facilities by deploying depleted gas fields, salt caverns and aquifers.
Keeping in view the upcoming natural gas import projects including IPI and TAPI, ISGS is planning to develop and implement this project parallel with the commissioning of these pipeline projects to ensure the uninterrupted supply of natural gas. |
