Natural gas storage allows the operator to store (inject) a volume of gas for sale (withdraw) at a later date. Physically “Storage” is a gas reservoir with pipes and compressors attached to it. The physical characteristics that dictate operations are: total working gas capacity (volume of gas that can be injected and withdrawn), rates of injection and rates of withdrawal. Injection and withdrawal rates can change depending on how much gas is in the reservoir.

Some models on our website are free to run without having to create an account. However, more advanced features are marked as “pro”.
