Underground Storage
- Overview
Engineering and execution of high-deliverability underground storage systems.
Gas Liquids Engineering (GLE) provides full engineering and project execution services for underground natural gas and liquids storage facilities, including depleted reservoir storage and salt cavern systems.
Our experience includes grassroots developments, major capacity expansions, and modernization programs designed to increase seasonal flexibility, support multi-mode operation, and maximize peak deliverability.
GLE has carried out large-scale storage expansion projects, including upgrades to facilities targeting injection and withdrawal capacities in excess of 1 BCF/d, supporting evolving market demands and year-round operational capability.

- Key Capability
Complete Geostorage Support
Upgrading an existing natural gas storage facility, or creating a new salt cavern storage facility, GLE will guide you through the process.
- Injection & Withdrawal
Natural Gas Storage
Underground storage requires surface facilities and pipelines capable of operating efficiently across wide pressure and flow ranges throughout the injection and withdrawal cycle. GLE engineers and executes:
- Large-scale reciprocating and centrifugal compression systems
- Efficiently designed bidirectional flow facilities
- High-throughput bidirectional pipeline connections and transmission tie-ins
- Bidirectional separation and custody transfer systems
- Debottlenecking and upgrades
- Our experience includes high-cycle storage facilities and major hub expansions.
- Gas Conditioning
Dehydration & Dew Point Control
Maintaining product specifications under varying seasonal conditions is critical. GLE engineers and executes:
TEG and Selexol solvent-based dew point control systems for pipeline-specification gas conditioning.
Joule-Thomson dehydration can be a cost effective option for gas storage systems with amenable operating conditions.
High throughput processing systems can require structured packing, specialized tower trays, and parallel trains.
- Critical gas conditioning to maintain pipeline specifications across seasonal injection and withdrawal cycles.
