Abstract

Reservoirs are widely used to store liquefied natural gas (LNG). They have become widespread since the 30s of the last century, when a low-temperature technology, or Supercooling, was used for the first large-scale experimental liquefaction of natural gas, and a liquefaction plant was built in Cleveland, Ohio. The obtained liquefied natural gas was stored in tanks under atmospheric pressure. After the 1970s energy crisis, when energy prices skyrocketed, LNG production and sales became more profitable, which gave great impetus to the development of the LNG industry in general and LNG storage reservoirs in particular, as it became a necessity to store ever greater volumes of LNG. Recent years have seen a strong growth in LNG consumption in various countries, making it possible to solve the issue of supplying natural gas to remote and inaccessible areas, where the construction of pipelines is technically difficult and economically infeasible.
