Gas Storage Monitoring

Underground gas storage is a strategic practice to cope with growing energy demand. Injection or extraction of stored gasses can have implications for surface subsidence or uplift – typically on a millimetre level. 

Understanding the relationship between ground displacement and injected/extracted volumes has strong bearing on the cost effectiveness of the storage process, the impact of the activities on urbanized areas and the mitigation of associated risk.

We determine wide-area surface movements related to gas injection/extraction. 
Regular monitoring of storage sites allows rapid identification of increased fluid displacement, providing our clients with invaluable data avoiding potentially costly effects. 

Combining our data with conventional ground based surveys allows our clients to determine pressure distribution – a valuable tool for determining the permeability of the reservoir and mitigating potential legal implications of over-pressuring the reservoir.
