Natural Gas Storage

Correspondence

The study team requested facility-specific data on withdrawn gas composition, or in the case of the 2015 Aliso Canyon incident, the composition of the gas escaping from the (SS-25) well blowout. An assessment of human health hazards for populations exposed to gas emitted from underground gas storage facilities requires knowing the composition of the gas. The utilities' responses to the data requests can be found below.
