INTRODUCTION STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The
goals of this report on the demand for natural
gas storage infrastructure are to anticipate gas
supply drivers and trends, including technology
shifts evaluate pricing trends for key North
American and European wholesale gas markets
assess the impacts of new and proposed
infrastructure on liquefied natural gas (LNG) and
underground gas storage projects, and determine
their effects on the market quantify the impact
of new technologies, industry structure, business
trends and regulatory change identify the key
structural and strategic factors that will drive
growth and opportunity in the LNG and natural gas
storage industry to 2020 and provide details on
the various technologies involved in LNG and
natural gas storage, including the critical
stages of integration, and how they relate to the
global natural gas trade and demand pattern. The
objective of this market research report is to
provide a balanced and detailed evaluation of the
current status of the global natural gas storage
infrastructure industry.

REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY The tension between
Russia and its neighbor the Ukraine regarding the
price of delivered Russian gas to Ukraine still
raises the prospect of instability in supply to
Europe of Russian gas. About 60 of this supply
transits through Ukraine. In such circumstances,
as was starkly demonstrated by the earlier gas
crises of 2006 and 2009 and amplified during the
cold conditions of February 2012 and March/April
2013, storage is critical for the security of
supply of gas. This security can be guaranteed,
of course, only if the storage sites have the
maximum working gas available at the beginning of
winter. In the case of Turkey, for example,
although the crisis had no immediate fallout in
Turkey itself, the country is a major buyer of
Russian natural gas and the question mark
hovering over Russian supplies brought forward
the importance of gas storage in Turkey and
national contingency plans.

The major goals of this study are therefore -To
assess and quantify the current global
underground natural gas, compressed natural gas
and LNG storage market and demand. -To
investigate and evaluate the future global use of
storage as a means of primary energy production
in the period 2015 to 2020. -To assess the
various technologies needed to facilitate the
development of natural gas storage globally. -To
track the evolution of the storage in the natural
gas supply chain and detect any fragmentation in
the chain. -To evaluate and quantify the storage
requirements in international LNG trade. -To
determine the extent of the impact of the natural
gas storage industry on the petroleum and
transportation industries. -To evaluate the
economic, industrial and environmental benefits
of storage. -To estimate, rationalize and review
natural gas storage as a means of monetizing
stranded gas resources and its effect on the rate
of depletion of global natural gas resources and
how technological progress will prolong the
decline point of the resource. -To analyze and
quantify the increasing strategic importance of
natural gas storage as an energy conservation
measure for the industrialized countries of the
world and as a major revenue generator for the
LNG exporting countries.

SCOPE AND FORMAT expects a consistent increase
in global natural gas usage with more than 250
years of global supply now well established, and
emerging exploration potential, especially in
shale gas.The analysis expects global natural gas
demand to increase by 65 from 2015 to 2030,
reaching 27 of the primary energy mix globally
and within that, strong growth in LNG.expects LNG
demand to double again to reach 550 million tons
by 2030. Meeting this demand growth will require
substantial investment in developing storage
infrastructure potentially more than 1.3
trillion. Natural gas storages will ensure
continued innovation and enhance interdependency
between supplier and consumer centers.

This report is divided into eleven
chapters. Chapter One presents the introduction.
The study goal and objectives are identified and
the reasons for doing the study advanced. It also
provides the contribution of the study and for
whom, the scope and format, methodology and
intended audience. The credentials of the analyst
are presented and the related reports listed.
Chapter Two presents a summary of the report,
including a summary table and figure which
presents some key findings from the
study Chapter Three presents an overview of the
natural gas storage industry. The overview
describes the importance of the natural gas
storage infrastructure in relation to the overall
global energy economy, including a brief history
and important indications for the industry. Key
findings from the study are presented.

Chapter Four quantifies the demand for
underground natural gas storage by type including
aquifers, cavern, and depleted oil and gas
fields. These products are each quantified with
global and regional forecasts made up to
2020. Chapter Five quantifies the demand for
above ground natural gas storage by type
including LNG tanker, merchant LNG and compressed
natural gas. These products are each quantified
with global and regional forecasts made up to
2020. Chapter Six presents the demand for
natural gas storage by application such as
international LNG trade, seasonal balancing,
system optimization and security of supply,
arbitrage, transit backup and direct end-users
and merchant LNG (now increasingly being used in
heavy-duty vehicle transportation) and peak
shaving. These are quantified with global and
regional forecasts made to 2020. Chapter Seven
presents the demand for natural gas storage
infrastructure by technology covering a detailed
analysis of the containment systems. It assesses
and evaluates the containment technology by type
with global and regional breakdown and forecasts
to 2020. An evaluation of the demand for natural
gas storage intensity by type of storage
technology is presented.

Chapter Eight analyzes the international scene
and quantifies global energy demand, population
growth, natural gas reserves, production and
consumption. It quantifies the growth of
unconventional gas production, the price of
natural gas and crude oil and looks at the shifts
in major metals prices. Chapter Nine analyzes
the structure of the storage industry, including
the driving forces of the industry. Important
strategies for staying competitive and important
shifts in the industry are assessed. Trade
practices of the industry and business and the
impact of storage on the petroleum and power
industries are discussed. Chapter Ten discusses
the government environmental/energy regulation
scene as it applies to natural gas storage
infrastructure and business. The report also
describes the environmental regulatory changes
and agencies involved, including industry
compliance and quantification of economic
effects. Chapter Eleven presents company
profiles of more than 100 companies involved in
the natural gas storage infrastructure, and
business are profiled with highlights of their
major activities in the storage business
including the company name, telephone number, fax
number, and contact name and number.
