1. The Market Report on Global Markets and Technologies for Natural Gas Storage

2. The global natural gas storage market will reach $796.4 billion in 2020, up from $562.2 billion in 2015, registering a CAGR of 7.2% for the period of 2015-2020. This report provides: -An assessment and quantification of the current global natural gas storage market -Analyses of global market trends, with data from 2014, estimates for 2015, and projections of compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) through 2020 -Evaluation of the future global use of storage as a means of primary energy production -Discussion of important current and potential environmental regulations that may affect the growth of this market -Examination of pricing trends for key North American and European wholesale gas markets -Assessment of the impacts of new and proposed infrastructure projects -A detailed patent analysis -Profiles of the top players in the field

3. INTRODUCTION STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The goals of this report on the demand for natural gas storage infrastructure are to: anticipate gas supply drivers and trends, including technology shifts; evaluate pricing trends for key North American and European wholesale gas markets; assess the impacts of new and proposed infrastructure on liquefied natural gas (LNG) and underground gas storage projects, and determine their effects on the market; quantify the impact of new technologies, industry structure, business trends and regulatory change; identify the key structural and strategic factors that will drive growth and opportunity in the LNG and natural gas storage industry to 2020; and provide details on the various technologies involved in LNG and natural gas storage, including the critical stages of integration, and how they relate to the global natural gas trade and demand pattern. The objective of this market research report is to provide a balanced and detailed evaluation of the current status of the global natural gas storage infrastructure industry.

4. REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY The tension between Russia and its neighbor the Ukraine regarding the price of delivered Russian gas to Ukraine still raises the prospect of instability in supply to Europe of Russian gas. About 60% of this supply transits through Ukraine. In such circumstances, as was starkly demonstrated by the earlier gas crises of 2006 and 2009 and amplified during the cold conditions of February 2012 and March/April 2013, storage is critical for the security of supply of gas. This security can be guaranteed, of course, only if the storage sites have the maximum working gas available at the beginning of winter. In the case of Turkey, for example, although the crisis had no immediate fallout in Turkey itself, the country is a major buyer of Russian natural gas and the question mark hovering over Russian supplies brought forward the importance of gas storage in Turkey and national contingency plans.

5. The major goals of this study are therefore: -To assess and quantify the current global underground natural gas, compressed natural gas and LNG storage market and demand. -To investigate and evaluate the future global use of storage as a means of primary energy production in the period 2015 to 2020. -To assess the various technologies needed to facilitate the development of natural gas storage globally. -To track the evolution of the storage in the natural gas supply chain and detect any fragmentation in the chain. -To evaluate and quantify the storage requirements in international LNG trade. -To determine the extent of the impact of the natural gas storage industry on the petroleum and transportation industries. -To evaluate the economic, industrial and environmental benefits of storage. -To estimate, rationalize and review natural gas storage as a means of monetizing stranded gas resources and its effect on the rate of depletion of global natural gas resources and how technological progress will prolong the decline point of the resource. -To analyze and quantify the increasing strategic importance of natural gas storage as an energy conservation measure for the industrialized countries of the world and as a major revenue generator for the LNG exporting countries.

6. SCOPE AND FORMAT expects a consistent increase in global natural gas usage with more than 250 years of global supply now well established, and emerging exploration potential, especially in shale gas.The analysis expects global natural gas demand to increase by 65% from 2015 to 2030, reaching 27% of the primary energy mix globally and within that, strong growth in LNG.expects LNG demand to double again to reach 550 million tons by 2030. Meeting this demand growth will require substantial investment in developing storage infrastructure — potentially more than $1.3 trillion. Natural gas storages will ensure continued innovation and enhance interdependency between supplier and consumer centers.

7. This report is divided into eleven chapters. Chapter One presents the introduction. The study goal and objectives are identified and the reasons for doing the study advanced. It also provides the contribution of the study and for whom, the scope and format, methodology and intended audience. The credentials of the analyst are presented and the related reports listed. Chapter Two presents a summary of the report, including a summary table and figure which presents some key findings from the study Chapter Three presents an overview of the natural gas storage industry. The overview describes the importance of the natural gas storage infrastructure in relation to the overall global energy economy, including a brief history and important indications for the industry. Key findings from the study are presented.

8. Chapter Four quantifies the demand for underground natural gas storage by type including aquifers, cavern, and depleted oil and gas fields. These products are each quantified with global and regional forecasts made up to 2020. Chapter Five quantifies the demand for above ground natural gas storage by type including LNG tanker, merchant LNG and compressed natural gas. These products are each quantified with global and regional forecasts made up to 2020. Chapter Six presents the demand for natural gas storage by application such as international LNG trade, seasonal balancing, system optimization and security of supply, arbitrage, transit backup and direct end-users and merchant LNG (now increasingly being used in heavy-duty vehicle transportation) and peak shaving. These are quantified with global and regional forecasts made to 2020. Chapter Seven presents the demand for natural gas storage infrastructure by technology covering a detailed analysis of the containment systems. It assesses and evaluates the containment technology by type with global and regional breakdown and forecasts to 2020. An evaluation of the demand for natural gas storage intensity by type of storage technology is presented.

9. Chapter Eight analyzes the international scene and quantifies global energy demand, population growth, natural gas reserves, production and consumption. It quantifies the growth of unconventional gas production, the price of natural gas and crude oil and looks at the shifts in major metals prices. Chapter Nine analyzes the structure of the storage industry, including the driving forces of the industry. Important strategies for staying competitive and important shifts in the industry are assessed. Trade practices of the industry and business and the impact of storage on the petroleum and power industries are discussed. Chapter Ten discusses the government environmental/energy regulation scene as it applies to natural gas storage infrastructure and business. The report also describes the environmental regulatory changes and agencies involved, including industry compliance and quantification of economic effects. Chapter Eleven presents company profiles of more than 100 companies involved in the natural gas storage infrastructure, and business are profiled with highlights of their major activities in the storage business including the company name, telephone number, fax number, and contact name and number.

10. METHODOLOGY In this report both historic and current data have been used in the natural gas storage infrastructure demand analysis. The results of the calculations presented here are therefore based on two components: a historic analysis of the global natural gas storage infrastructure demand in the period 2012 to 2015, demand for 2015 and forecasted demand for the 2015 to 2020 timeframe. INFORMATION SOURCES Information sources include trade data (national and international), company publicity literature, conference reports, world trade technical journals and interviews with company representatives.
