Abstract:
A gas storage system (11) formed of a continuous pipe (10) wound in plural layers, each layer having plural loops. The pipe may be distributed within a container (12), which may serve as a carousel for winding the pipe and as a gas containment device. When containers, each containing a continuous pipe, are stacked upon each other, the weight of upper containers may be born by the walls (16, 18) of lower containers, thus preventing lower layers of pipe from suffering stresses due to crushing by upper layers. A method of transporting gas to a gas distribution facility including obtaining a supply of gas at a gas supply point remote from the gas distribution facility, injecting the gas into a continuous pipe bent to form plural layers, each layer including plural loops of pipe, transporting the continuous pipe along with the gas to the gas distribution facility preferably in a ship (62) and discharging the gas.
