Abstract: Northern Natural Gas Company (Northern) is involved in the wholesale and retail sale of natural gas to 71 utility customers in an eight-state area in the Midwest, On a cold day, as much as one-fourth of Northerns maximum daily deliveries of about 3.0 Bcf are made in the highly weather sensitive Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota (Twin Cities) metropolitan area. Plans for meeting our high-delivery underground gas storage objective near the Twin Cities by conventional gas industry methods have been thwarted due to the limitation of geological conditions. Consequently, an unconventional aliernative, the construction of a deep excavated cavern or cavity-type facility in competent rock has been studied by Northern. A techno-economic study was conducted in 1975 to establish the feasibility of construction of such a facility.
