METHOD OF INCREASING STORAGE CAPACITY OF NATURAL GAS STORAGE CAVERNS

摘要

A method of increasing the storage capacity of a natural gas storage cavern involves the step of adding liquefied natural gas to gaseous natural gas in the natural gas storage cavern. The addition of liquefied natural gas serves to reduce the temperature and associated pressure of gaseous natural gas in the natural gas storage cavern, thereby increasing the capacity of the natural gas storage cavern.
