Description

This recommended practice (RP) applies to natural gas storage in depleted oil and gas reservoirs and aquifer reservoirs, and focuses on storage well, reservoir, and fluid management for functional integrity in design, construction, operation, monitoring, maintenance, and documentation practices. The scope does not include pipelines, gas conditioning and liquid handling, compressors, and ancillary facilities associated with storage. Storage design, construction, operation, and maintenance include activities in risk management, site security, safety, emergency preparedness, and procedural documentation and training to embed human and organizational competence in the management of storage facilities. This RP embodies historical knowledge and experience and emphasizes the need for case-by-case and site-specific conditional assessments.

This RP applies to both existing and newly constructed facilities. However, Sections 5 and 7 apply exclusively to new facilities and facilities undergoing expansion, and Section 6 applies to new well construction and remediation of a new or existing well
