Abstract: Southern California Gas Company (SoCal Gas), the nations largest gas distribution utility, currently serves over 13 million people through 4.2 million meters in Southern and Central California. Providing reliable, safe, and efficient natural gas service to meet this vast and fluctuating energy demand requires a highly responsive Transmission and Distribution system. SoCal Gas operates approximately 3,800 miles of transmission line and 38,000 miles of distribution main with over 210,000 horsepower of mainline and storage compression. Vital to the effective operation of this extensive transmission network are the Companys six underground storage fields. Combined, these fields have a working storage capacity of over 116 Bcf and an aggregate maximum deliverability of over 4,300 MMcfd. Today, these fields are located in or adjacent to sensitive urban or suburban environments. The operation of a storage field in these areas presents many unique and sometimes difficult obstacles that are not associated typically with the underground storage of natural gas. This paper describes how SoCal Gas copes with the unique operating obstacles that are faced in operating gas storage fields in these sensitive environments.
