WINGAS storage locations

By expanding its activities in the European natural gas market WINGAS strongly focuses on ensuring the security of supply for its customers. The WINGAS natural gas storage facility at Rehden, south of Bremen, is the largest in Western Europe. More than four billion cubic metres of natural gas can be stored at a depth of 2,000 metres in an area covering around eight square kilometres. This storable quantity of gas is sufficient to supply two million households with natural gas for a whole year.

WINGAS is continuing to invest in the development of storage capacities. In 2007, WINGAS put Central Europe's second largest natural gas storage facility at Haidach, Austria, into operation, in a joint venture with Rohöl-Aufsuchungs Aktiengesellschaft (RAG) and Gazprom Export. WINGAS also plans to develop storage capacities in the UK. For this purpose WINGAS acquired Saltfleetby, Britain's largest onshore natural gas field, in 2004. WINGAS Storage UK Ltd., a joint venture of WINGAS and a company in the Gazprom Group, will convert the Saltfleetby natural gas field into a storage facility. Currently WINGAS is constructing a cavern storage facility in Jemgum in the German state of Lower Saxony. The Jemgum cavern storage facility will be the ideal complement to WINGAS' existing pore storage facilities and will ensure WINGAS' steady growth towards becoming one of Europe's largest natural gas storage operators.
