Abstract: For the past two decades the A.G.A Committee on Underground Gas Storage has reported to the industry on storage statistics. The 20th such report has just been released. Underground storage continues to expand and is the most effective way to meet growing market requirements of the gas industry during the winter months, There were some significant mileposts in 1970. For example total storage capacity exceeded the 5 trillion mark for the first time (5.178 Tr.). This is more than new gas discoveries of the past few years. Storage compressor station horsepower passed the 1 million mark-almost 11% of the total for the entire pipeline industry. Previous records for maximum day output from storage reservoirs were exceeded in nearly all states and the total for the country was 26,3 billion. This increase of 4.7 billion over 1969 was larger than for any previous year. Comparative increases in storage are shown in Table I.
