ON THE ENERGY STORAGE SITES FOR NATURAL GAS: AN OVERVIEW FOR TURKISH CASE AND REGULATION

It is aimed in this paper to mention about underground storage of natural gas. For this purpose, Tuz Lake underground natural gas storage project and Turkish regulation (UNGSP, 2011) have been overviewed. It is understood from the study that the project (Tuz Lake underground natural gas storage) presents new insights for the natural gas storage. However, investigation about the flow characteristics (rheology) during drilling of salt deposit is offered for better design. The Turkish regulation (UNGSP, 2011) is found to involve with the storage plant in the management viewpoint rather than technical issues. Thus, alternately a new regulation in technical viewpoint dominantly can be useful for the natural gas storage operations
