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