Title: Underground Storage Statistics-1969
Author: George C. Crow, Jr.

Abstract: For the past several years different analogies have been used in these reports to illustrate the effectiveness of underground gas storage in meeting market requirements of the gas industry during the winter months. For example, the total capacity of storage reservoirs in the United States has been shown to equal the capacity of an assemblage of standard gas holders covering an area three times the size of all five boroughs of the City of New York (more than 1,000 square miles) -or a lineup of gas holders criss-crossing the nation to the extent of more than 18,000 linear miles. In a continuous underground reservoir, the nations storage capacity would require a porous formation at least 10 feet thick with more than 10% porosity that would underlie an area larger than the entire State of California.
