    摘要: Methods and systems for storing large volumes of gas, such as natural gas and the like, as commonly received from pipelines or tankers, in deep underground cavities under near-critical conditions of pressure and temperature. Part of the total gas received may be used to meet current requirements and the remainder stored during times of less than average demand, for use when demand is higher. Capital and operating costs of storing gas in ways disclosed make large scale storage attractive. As more gas is delivered from greater distances by more costly means, the need to accumulate gas in storage near markets, for use in emergencies and to keep the transportation system working at capacity, continually increases. This invention provides for this need, not only at attractive costs but also it provides a type of storage which can be built near many large markets where more conventional storage cannot; it requires little land and little surface construction. Gas is stored with maximum security and delivered with greatest availability.
