VOLANDS GAS STORAGE

VOLANDS™ (Volume Optimized Land Storage), an innovative, above-ground compressed natural gas land-based storage technology, is a new and dynamic alternative that provides high deliverability, cyclic storage similar to salt dome caverns.

VOLANDS can be integrated into a marine gas transport project, or can be provided as a stand-alone storage solution for clients in geologically constrained areas worldwide.

The VOLANDS technology provides value to a broad range of potential customers such as peaking power producers or LDC's that have limited pipeline or natural storage alternatives. This new technology aligns the user's daily injection and withdrawal rates, matching hourly load requirements and augmenting firm pipeline transportation capacity.
