Gazprom Export does not provide additional quantities of gas lately, ordered to increase the capacity of Polish magazines of this material. PGNiG, which still conveys the gas into storage expansions, pulls him for this purpose from the west interkonektorami.
As the data Gaz-System – the operator of gas transmission pipelines – long delivery time for entry points on the borders with Belarus and Ukraine are smaller than orders placed by PGNiG. The company explains that the gas it needs to be injected into one of the types of underground storage facilities aim to increase their capacity.
At the beginning of September PGNiG announced by filling in the total storage capacity available to the company and the state, according to data published the Storage System Operator – group company PGNiG – persists to this day. Gas storage supports the current supply in winter, when consumption is highest.
The data on the functioning of the gas network that PGNiG in recent months zatłaczało additional volumes of gas, even the order of several million cubic meters. per day for storage Husów and Wierzchowice. It is – as explained company – the gas needed to increase the storage capacity. Gas used to increase storage “disappear” from the system. PGNiG buys it, but neither does not sell to customers, nor is it recognized in inventory.
Gas underground – in geological formations – is stored in a partially depleted reservoirs, or in salt caverns – empty spaces, rinsed using a water soluble salt formations. In this way, you can also store crude oil and liquid fuels, doing it in Poland belonging to PKN Orlen magazine Solino near Inowrocławia.
In a gas storage PGNiG uses two formations of salt – salt dome near Mogilno in the province. Kuyavian-Pomeranian and deposits in Kosakowo on the Gulf of Puck.
Wysad – a pillar of salt, pushed out near the surface of the earth by surging geological layers – which is Cavern Underground Gas Storage (KPMG) Mogilno, has a height of 6 km, length of 3.2 km and a width of 500 m. few hundred meters under the ground there are 11 caverns, falling more than 400 million cubic meters. gas. Four more are under construction, so that in 2027. Magazine is expected to accommodate 800 million cubic meters. gas.
In turn, in the coastal Kosakowo gas is stored in two caverns, rinsed in saline board, lying over 1,000 m below the surface. They are 50 million cubic meters., And 2022. Magazine is to be extended for another three caverns, to a total capacity of 250 million cubic meters. gas.
The advantage of the caverns is the ability to fill and drain if necessary and in a relatively short time. There are, however, much more expensive than the most popular magazines in depleted. The disadvantage of the latter, however, are very long – by the tens of days – cycles of filling and emptying.
The largest Polish magazine – in Lower Silesia Wierzchowice – is already recently 1.2 billion cubic meters. gas, and plans PGNiG is enlarged to 3.5 billion. Originally this place was a low quality gas field, which recovered approx. 8 billion cubic meters. that is, two-thirds of the raw material and in 1995. mining was discontinued in connection with plans to build a warehouse. The process of creating this magazine is complicated and expensive, and the main cost associated with the purchase and inlay to the bed billion cubic meters. methane gas and a half billion cubic meters. so-called. buffer gas.
is coming to an end extension of Underground Gas Storage Husów the Subcarpathian region, as a result of which its capacity will increase from 350 to 500 million cubic meters. As part of this investment to the magazine recently also compressed gas network.
Other operated by PGNiG warehouses are located in Swarzowie in Lesser Poland (90 million cubic meters.) And Strachocin (360 million cubic meters.) and Brzeźnica (65 million cubic meters.). This last until 2016., Is to be expanded to 100 million cubic meters.
