Abstract
This chapter introduces the current status of gas storage around the world, including the development history, distribution of pipeline networks, working gas scale, and peak day gas production capacity. When analyzing the development of gas storage, this chapter focuses on the demand and driving forces of natural gas and the actual situation in the main consumption areas. Based on this, we obtain the following conclusions: gas storage is an important link in the natural gas industry chain, a certain scale must be reserved to ensure the safe supply of natural gas, oil and gas reservoirs are the main type of gas storage reconstruction, and the construction and production cycle is indeed very long. Finally, this chapter introduces the specific situation of gas storage operations in North America, European countries, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region, and emerging markets represented by China.
