Underground Gas Storage in the World - 2010 Edition
Cedigaz, April 2010, Pages: 131
The 2010 edition of 'Underground Gas Storage in the World' provides an update to the previous survey released by CEDIGAZ in 2006. At that time, 610 underground gas storage (UGS) facilities were in operation worldwide, with a working capacity of 319 billion cubic metres (bcm). As of 1 January 2010, this number had reached 642 facilities with a working gas capacity of 333 bcm, or 10.8% of world gas consumption. By 2020, the global UGS demand is expected to grow at a pace of 3.3% per year, and according to the projects identified, more than 760 UGS sites could be active in the world with a total working capacity of approximately 465 bcm.
In this survey, CEDIGAZ analyses the following trends which characterise the rapid development of underground gas storage in the world:
- the strong dynamics of the European storage market, where 127 projects could add 75 bcm of working capacity by 2020,
- the continued development of the UGS market in the United States (49 projects), encouraged by market-based rates allowed by the FERC, and rapid permitting processes,
- the development of facilities in countries with little or no storage capacities at present, in Asia/Oceania, the C.I.S., and Eastern Europe in particular.
This survey provides an analysis of the recent evolutions in the technico-economic aspects of the underground gas storage business, as well as an overview of the UGS markets and their developments in the world, country by country. A specific section is dedicated to the analysis of future UGS needs in Europe by 2020:
- Technico-economic aspects of UGS: This part of the survey analyses the latest technical improvements and research axes in the field of underground gas storage. As it is more difficult to build greenfield storage facilities, a lot of work has been done to improve the performance and flexibility of existing storage sites. This section also deals with the evolution of investment and operational costs in storage over the last few years. Furthermore, the CEDIGAZ UGS Survey offers a benchmark of storage tariffs in Europe.
- Overview and developments of UGS markets worldwide: the current state of development of the underground gas storage market in the world, country by country, with a list of UGS projects in the world, is presented in this part of the survey. A detailed analysis of the legal framework, Third Party Access (TPA) conditions to storage facilities, and tariffs, is also provided for European countries.
- The future needs for underground gas storage in Europe by 2020: In order to assess the future storage capacity needed in Europe, this section analyses different upcoming trends which characterise and drive the dynamic development of UGS: seasonal storage, peak demand storage, strategic storage, and specific needs related to the expansion of natural gas trading and renewable energies.
