The Environmental Defense Fund developed this report on current conditions and practices of underground gas storage (UGS) in the United States and China with a forward-looking perspective on key elements needed to develop a more comprehensive UGS regulatory program. UGS is key to an effective and reliable gas supply providing operational flexibility to meet an ever-changing supply and demand, notably when supply may be curtailed due to natural or geopolitical reasons. Critical to UGS is a robust regulatory program addressing all phases of operation for the protection of environment, human health and safety.
