Background

Gazprom and VNG are working together on the Katharina UGS facility, a joint project implemented on equal terms. When the facility reaches its design capacity in 2025, it will include 12 caverns with the working gas inventories of some 650 million cubic meters.
Gazprom, VNG, and Wingas are jointly implementing the Jemgum UGS project. It is planned to bring the UGS facility to its design capacity of 900–950 million cubic meters in 2019–2020.
