Abstract
The Soyuz, Urengoy-Pomary-Uzhhorod and Progress gas pipeline systems form the basis of the trans-Ukrainian trans-Ukrainian pipeline system. The complex gas transmission system contains a number of gas pipelines forming a linear part and several compressor stations. The amount of capacity of pipelines depends on the number and characteristics of compressor stations. Reliability of work, regulation of transit flows and ensuring uninterrupted gas supply is carried out with the help of underground gas storage facilities, which are an integral part of the GTS of Ukraine. The use of underground storage facilities is considered to be one of the most efficient ways of gas supply, improving the quality of gas supplies to consumers and the efficiency of gas sales within the country and abroad. With the use of storage, you can reduce the unevenness of seasonal consumption and ensure security of supply. The use of underground storage facilities is an integral part, as during the year the maximum daily gas extraction exceeds the minimum more than three times, and the supply of gas through the main gas pipelines is almost constant. The maximum storage capacity cannot be represented as the sum of the absolutely free flow rates of all production wells. This is explained by the fact that the productivity of the underground gas storage during the extraction period is affected by the hydraulic resistance of the gas collection system to the underground storage and its technical condition, which is determined by the coefficient of hydraulic efficiency of loops and collectors.
 Studies show that the location of gas storages in the system has an impact on the amount of energy consumption. Therefore, the strategy of rational use of underground gas storage facilities in pipeline transport (in terms of minimizing energy consumption) is based on the study of the impact of their location in the gas transmission system. The principle of energy efficiency of the use of underground gas storage facilities for long-distance transportation (in order to equalize the unevenness of gas consumption) is based on the sequence: the most remote UGS should be used first. These are the objects that are located at the end points of the GTS route and whose location corresponds to the proximity to consumers.
