Underground Natural Gas Storage : Facts & Figures
Vortex, natural gas storage was "drawn down" sharply (see purple arrow). In contrast, during the mild winter of 2012, the natural gas withdrawn from storage was far more moderate (see green
6 FAQs about [Central natural gas storage]
How much natural gas is stored underground?
Underground working natural gas storage capacity in the United States totaled approximately 4,796 Bcf as of May 2024. About one-third of the United States’ underground storage capacity is located in the South Central region, which stretches from Texas and Kansas to Alabama. The Midwest accounts for 26% capacity, and the East accounts for 23%.
How many BCF is working gas in storage?
Working gas in storage was 3,972 Bcf as of Friday, November 8, 2024, according to EIA estimates. This represents a net increase of 41 Bcf from the previous week. Stocks were 156 Bcf higher than last year at this time and 226 Bcf above the five-year average of 3,746 Bcf. At 3,972 Bcf, total working gas is above the five-year historical range.
How do we assess working natural gas storage capacity?
We use two metrics to assess working natural gas storage capacity. The first metric—demonstrated peak capacity—rose 3% by 124 billion cubic feet (Bcf) in 2023, reflecting the increased use of natural gas storage due to market conditions. The second metric—working gas design capacity—fell close to 0.0%, or 3 Bcf, in 2023.
What happened to natural gas storage capacity?
Demonstrated peak natural gas storage capacity in the United States had fallen in recent years, declining in five out of the last seven years since reaching its highest level on record, 4,362 Bcf in 2017 (covering 2011–16).
Where can I find design capacity information for underground natural gas storage?
Data source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Monthly Underground Natural Gas Storage Report Note: Design capacity information for all facilities, including inactive fields, is available in the Natural Gas Annual Respondent Query System. Totals and calculations may not equal the sum of the components because of independent rounding.
Did working natural gas storage capacity increase in 2023?
Underground working natural gas storage capacity in the Lower 48 states increased in 2023. We use two metrics to assess working natural gas storage capacity. The first metric—demonstrated peak capacity—rose 3% by 124 billion cubic feet (Bcf) in 2023, reflecting the increased use of natural gas storage due to market conditions.
