Gas Storage
This application is for the storage of gas into underground hydrocarbon reservoirs can be
for production-motivated reasons or commercial operations. Production-motivated
schemes are usually characterized by the temporary storage of gas occurring at or near
the producing pools. They can allow for the more efficient use of production and
processing facilities and may also be of benefit in market-related situations. Commercial
gas storage schemes are designed to provide an efficient means of balancing supply with
a fluctuating market demand. These schemes store third-party nonnative gas, allowing
marketers to take advantage of seasonal price differences, effect custody transfers, and
maintain reliability of supply. Gas from many sources may be stored at commercial
facilities under fee-for-service, buy-sell, or other contractual arrangements.
The ERCB regulates gas storage operations to ensure that all gas conservation, equity,
environment, and safety issues are addressed and to maintain up-to-date estimates of
provincial gas reserves and deliverability.
An application for approval of a new scheme or amendment to an existing scheme for
the underground storage of gas is made under Section 26(1)(b) of the Oil and Gas
Conservation Act.
