Scope and Purposes
The underground gas storage activity is a valuable part of the gas chain. Both operation and development of storage facilities are know seen as a separate business, supported by the independent companies or subsidiary companies of integrated energy groups.
The operation focuses on two main axis: developping a valuable flexibility for the gas chain and providing security of supply to customers. Thanks to the work of its 3 study groups, the WOC 2 will analyse the impact of these new challenges in the UGS business.
In terms of organisation, the 2012-2015 Triennium Working Program will include:
-
informal exchanges on topics of current interest in UGS activity through specific workshops
-
three regular activities undertaken by three different sub-groups.
