Present situation and future development of underground gas storage reservoirs in Russia

Gas storage reservoirs construction is an important means for peak shaving and strategic reserve of natural gas, and China is in the primary stage of the reservoir construction. The construction of gas storage reservoirs in Russia started much earlier, so that a systematic technology for gas storage reservoirs construction was developed, and a relatively perfect network of gas storage was established. From the viewpoint of tracking and reference, this paper traces the development process of Russian gas storage reservoirs and Russia's demand for gas storage reservoirs, introduces the number, distribution, construction time and key parameters of gas storage reservoirs in use, being built and being explored in Russia, analyses the key technology of gas storage reservoir construction in Russia, and expounds the future development plan of Russian gas storage reservoir construction.On this basis, the prospect of Sino-Russian gas storage cooperation is analyzed. It is suggested that China and Russia cooperate in gas storage reservoir construction to promote the rapid development of gas storage construction reservoir in China and improve the seasonal imbalance of natural gas in China.
