Inventory and deliverability are two of the main attributes in underground storage of natural gas. They relate to the amount of energy in supply and the rate at which it can be committed to market demand. This three-part practical text presents the state of present technology for design and performance analysis.

Tek’s book will help readers understand the fundamentals and practical aspects of the various storage systems and receive a complete review as well as the latest concepts of gas technology. Readers will also gain background on the problems and prospects in design and development of salt cavities in storage.
