Natural Gas Storage Market by Type (Underground, Above Ground, and Floating), and by Geography - Global Trends & Forecasts till 2019
Natural gas storage plays a significant role in managing the reliability of supply needed to meet the demands of consumers. A decade ago, natural gas was a regulated commodity; storage was a part of the bundled product sold by the pipelines to the distribution utilities. Later, this was deregulated and made available to everyone seeking storage for commercial purposes or operational requirements. Gas storage is primarily used to meet the seasonal demand; it is stored during periods of low demand and withdrawn from storage during the periods of peak/high demand. Natural gas storage Market is of two types namely; underground natural gas storage and above ground natural gas storage.
Underground storage facilities are mainly used to store gaseous forms of natural gas. There are generally three types of underground storage facilities namely, salt caverns formation, aquifers, and depleted reservoirs in oil or gas fields. The different storage types have their own physical characteristics such as porosity, permeability, maintenance cost, and other suitable capabilities of the site. The growing demand for natural gas led to increase in exploration of oil and gas fields which in turn led to increase in underground and above ground storage facilities. The Natural Gas Storage Market is therefore, expected to show sound growth in coming years.
Americas is the largest Natural Gas Storage Market for underground storage facilities, followed by the CIS region. In 2013, Americas had the highest working gas capacity of 152.0 BCM (billion cubic meters) and is projected to grow by 158.6 BCM in 2019. On the other hand, the working gas capacity of CIS region was 122.4 BCM in 2013 and is expected to grow by 135.4 BCM by 2019. In terms of working gas capacity, Americas is expected to continue to lead in the next five years.

Global Natural Gas Storage Market is projected to reach $763.60 Billion by 2019. The liquefaction and regasification market would reach $299.45 Billion and $18.88 Billion respectively while the underground storage market is expected to be $445.27 Billion by 2019.
The Americas dominated both underground and above-ground liquified natural gas storage market in 2013. In terms of underground storage capacity, Americas have the highest working gas capacity of 152.0 BCM (billion cubic meters) in 2013. Between 2014 – 2019, the region is expected to expand its capacity by 5.3 BCM to reach a total of 158.6 BCM by 2019.
Whereas, in terms of above ground storage facility that includes liquefied natural gas storage , Americas have the highest liquefaction capacity in comparison to Asia-Pacific, which dominates the natural gas storage market in regasification capacity. Over the next five years, the global LNG requirement is expected to increase by an additional 279.7 MTPA. By 2019, the global liquefaction capacity is expected to be 704.9 MTPA.
The figure below shows the global liquefaction capacity market share, by geography, in 2013.

The Natural Gas Storage Market can be classified broadly into two categories namely, underground natural gas storage market and above-ground natural gas storage market. In 2013, the total underground working gas capacity was 395.6 BCM and is expected to reach 458.2 BCM by 2019, because of heavy increament in storage facilities from 2014–2019.
In terms of above ground storage in 2013, the total liquefaction and regasification capacity was 403.2 MTPA and 464.9 MTPA, which is later expected to reach 704.9 MTPA and 575.5 MTPA by 2019, because of expansion in storage facilities from 2014 – 2019.
