Natural gas consumption is expected to grow significantly in next decades. Theneed for building LNG import terminals with significant storage capacity is quiteoften a critical aspect due to restriction of available land in the area of interest andenvironmental constraints. A new concept for the storage of LNG in undergroundmined rock caverns is considered to be very efficient in term of land occupation,environmental and visual impact on ground surface, safety and cost.This paper presents the risks associated with the project development of the LinedRock Cavern System and discusses its hazards.
