Detailed Description

The service for the construction and reconstruction of Underground Gas Storage (UGS) facilities includes:

1. Design: Development of complete design documentation for UGS, covering technological systems, general construction works, power supply, automation, and security systems. This stage takes into account geological features of the area and requirements for gas storage capacity.
2. Drilling: Conducting drilling operations to create wells for gas injection and extraction. This includes using modern drilling technologies and well completion techniques.
3. Construction of Technological Facilities: Erection of compressor stations for gas injection, gas distribution stations for pressure regulation during gas extraction, control and management systems, communication facilities, and other necessary infrastructure elements.
4. Commissioning: Performing comprehensive testing of all UGS systems, training personnel, and officially commissioning the facility.

Key Advantages:

• Customized design approach considering geological features and client requirements.
• Use of advanced drilling technologies and equipment for gas storage.
• High level of automation and safety in UGS operations.
• Possibility of phased project implementation and upgrading existing UGS.
• Comprehensive approach ensuring full compatibility of all system components.

Usage

UGS are used in the gas industry for:

• Balancing seasonal fluctuations in gas demand.
• Ensuring national energy security.
• Optimizing the operation of the gas transport system.
• Creating strategic gas reserves.
• Regulating prices in the gas market.

Equipment Manufacturing

A wide range of specialized equipment is used for UGS construction, including:

• Compressor units for gas injection.
• Gas cleaning and drying systems.
• Control and measurement instruments and automation systems.
• Equipment for preparing gas for transportation.

This equipment is manufactured at specialized facilities using modern technologies and materials. Manufacturing times depend on the complexity and volume of the order and can range from 6 to 18 months. Production involves computer modeling, automated quality control, and testing under conditions that simulate real operation.

Installation and Maintenance
