A rise in the need for natural gas storage facilities is also likely affecting the market. Growth in various industries, most notably transportation and electricity production, is driving increased demand for natural gas. The amount of natural gas produced is increasing rapidly. It's possible to keep natural gas underground forever. Natural gas is often stored in underground caverns until it is needed. In addition, the US Department of Energy and private sector partners have investigated the possibility of storing cooled natural gas in an abandoned hard-rock mine. If used to both new and existing bedded salt storage caverns, the concept of freezing the gas before storage might significantly enhance storage capacity within the current volume of natural gas.
Demand for oil and gas storage is being fueled in part by the pressing need for facilities to house strategic petroleum reservoirs (SPRS). The Covid-19 pandemic has created a previously unheard-of challenge for the global oil and gas industry: the storage of excess oil. There is a growing shortage of storage space among industry participants. In May, for example, traders in the United States had to pay to have their oil taken off the market because the West Texas Intermediate fell into negative territory for the first time in its history. Both onshore and offshore storage facilities are rapidly reaching capacity due to the oil glut, which has caused a demand shock in the energy markets.
Similarly, with demand down during the lockdown, refiners in India are flooding the market with petroleum products. Storage facilities at gas stations and other facilities constructed by refiners across the country are also nearly full. The entire storage capacity of state-run firms is also estimated to be around 85 million barrels at this point. Oil companies and refineries are responding to this problem in a number of ways. When shale drillers stopped working, oil corporations in Texas, for example, held the idled oil in steel tanks. Oil companies are currently seeking to store as much oil as they can in these tanks to combat the space issue. Especially in the near future, when demand will be high, and more storage space will be required, factors like these will likely contribute to the growth of the global oil and gas storage industry.
The growing need for natural gas storage facilities is also expected to propel the oil and gas storage industry. Rapid increases in both supply and demand can be attributed to increased consumption in key markets like the transportation and energy industries. Natural gas can be easily stored forever. Underground storage tanks are used to hold natural gas until it is needed. The United States Department of Energy and its industry partners have also looked into the possibility of using a mined, hard-rock facility to store cooled natural gas. The concept of chilling gas before storage has the potential to considerably increase the storage capacity within the current supply of natural gas if applied to projected or existing bedded salt storage caverns. However, as a result of the recent downturn in demand, some countries are experiencing problems with gasoline storage. As a result of the increase in demand that Covid-19 has caused, China, for one, is looking to increase its purchases of natural gas. As the need to heat homes increases in the winter, the country's poor storage capacity makes it difficult to manage the supply shortfalls. Despite having access to significantly less total underground storage, China's gas supply is constrained due to a shortage of available space. As a result, the solution to the surplus problem requires the creation of additional storage capacity.
