At the end of 1974, there were 367 gas storage fields in operation in 26 states, up from 360 in 1973. Of these, 198 were reported by pipeline companies subject to the Commission's jurisdiction. Liquefied natural gas storage projects are not included with the underground storage fields in this report. The growth in active underground gas storage fields in the U. S. from 1916 to the end of 1974 is charted. Data compiled in the three sections that follow are: capacity, utilization, and certification of underground natural gas storage fields by jurisdictional pipeline companies in 1974; estimated cost of storing gas underground in 1974; and winter 1974-1975 storage. Data on underground gas storage, deliverability, and peak day use for jurisdictional companies as of December 31, 1973 are included for 32 companies in Appendix 1. Percent of gas from storage during highest consecutive 3-day system peak by area vs year (1963-1973) is charted in Appendix 2. (MCW)
