SOCAR pumped over 382 mcm of gas into underground gas storages in spring

Since the end of March 2016 till May 18, 2016 SOCAR has pumped 382,438,000 mcm of gas into the underground gas storages, reported SOCAR.

Considering the volume of gas remained in the underground storage since 2015 and the volume pumped into the gas storages, gas resources in the underground gas storage totaled 1,363,313 cub.m.

SOCAR reported that gas resources in the Galmaz gas storage total 632,631,000 cub.m., in Garadag -730,682,000 cub.m. 134,195,000 cub.m. of gas has been pumped into the Galmaz gas storage and 248,243,000 cub.m. into the Garadag gas storage.

Gas pumping into the gas storages will end in November.

The volume of gas pumping into the underground gas storages gives us reasons to believe that Azerbaijan will have no problems with supplying consumers with gas in autumn and winter period.

* SOCAR has two underground gas storages – Galmaz and Garadag. Galmaz gas storage is located 75 km southeast of Baku and was launched in 1955. Garadag gas storage is located 25 km southeast of Baku and it was launched in 1954.—0—
