This standard covers the functional recommendations for design, construction, testing, commissioning, operation, maintenance and abandonment of underground gas storage facilities in mined rock caverns up to and including the wellhead. It specifies practices which are safe and environmentally acceptable. The necessary surface facilities for an underground gas storage are described in EN 1918-5. In this context "gas" is any hydrocarbon fuel which is in a gaseous state at a temperature of 15°C and under a pressure of 1 bar. This includes natural gas (also called CNG) and LPG.
