Abstract

This report is the first effort to survey underground gas storage on a heating season basis for the entire United States. The survey covered 80 storage operators who reported 375 storage reservoirs in 26 states with a total reservoir capacity of 6,364 Bcf. The report contains tables which indicate total amount of gas in storage at the beginning of the 1974 heating season, the amount injected and withdrawn during the following year, and the amount of gas in storage at the beginning of the following heating season; tables listing underground gas storage by operator, November 1, 1974 - November 1, 1975; and a map illustrating the distribution of natural gas storage reservoirs in the United States.
