In Russia entered into force the first GOST in UGS, since November 15, an interstate standard for the design of underground storage of natural methane gas in porous reservoirs began. The document was developed by Gazprom VNIIGAZ, it establishes the classification of objects, the procedure for determining the geological basis, as well as the technological stages of operation and design. Standard specification requirements for the calculation of technological indicators and the design of underground and ground structures: pipelines, gas treatment and dry plants, condensate stabilization, compression stations, torch plants. Separately determined methods of using the water generated during the operation, and protecting the environment. New GOST does not apply to UGS in rock salt, mines, mining, as well as previously approved documentation.
