Abstract: El Paso Natural Gas Company is a major interstate natural gas transmission company that serves customers in Arizona, California, New Mexico, southern Nevada, and Texas, as shown in Figure 1. El Pasos market can be divided into two categories: California and East-of-California. The California customers have several sources of supply and have developed storage facilities of their own which allow them a measure of security during periods of tight supply and/or high demand. The East-of-California (EOC) customers are essentially totally dependent upon El Paso for their energy supplies and have no storage capability. As part of the gas allocation plan agreement reached between El Paso and its customers in 1981, El Paso agreed to construct and operate a gas storage facility to protect the high priority EOC customers from curtailments. This facility was to be designed to minimize disruptions in the PI and P2 markets and to allow the customer some flexibility in the timing of his receipt of gas through operation of the facility as a gas bank. The provision that the facility be capable of accommodating the banking and borrowing of gas required that whatever facilities were selected be very flexible and that the time required to switch from injection to withdrawal service be minimized.
