Natural gas storage is a method used to hold natural gas for future use. It helps balance supply and demand, especially during peak usage times, such as winter months when heating needs increase. Storage facilities can be underground, often in depleted oil and gas fields, aquifers, or salt caverns, where the gas is kept under pressure. The stored natural gas can be quickly accessed and distributed through pipelines when needed. This ensures a reliable energy supply for homes and businesses. Effective storage management is crucial for maintaining stable prices and meeting energy demands throughout the year.
