FAQ
A storage lease is a legal agreement that allows you to store your items in an unused area of someone else's property. It's important to know what type of lease you're signing before committing, as some are more expensive than others.
Underground gas storage (UGS) responds to the need of storing large amounts of natural gas and it is therefore used for strategic purposes. Underground storages can be natural structures (depleted gas reservoirs, aquifers, or salt caverns) or hand-made.
Natural gas?a colorless, odorless, gaseous hydrocarbon?may be stored in a number of different ways. It is most commonly held in inventory underground under pressure in three types of facilities. These underground facilities are depleted reservoirs in oil and/or natural gas fields, aquifers, and salt cavern formations.
Intrinsic value: The most common way to value storage is to calculate the differential in price between the injected cost and the withdrawal cost, less any carrying cost of capital used to purchase the gas and hold it in storage until withdrawals occur.
