This Recommended Practice (RP) applies to natural gas storage in depleted oil and gas reservoirs and aquifer reservoirs, and focuses on storage well, reservoir, and fluid management for functional integrity in design, construction, operation, monitoring, maintenance, and
documentation practices.

Storage design, construction, operation, and maintenance include activities in risk management, site security, safety, emergency preparedness, and procedural documentation and training to embed human and organizational competence in the management of storage
facilities. This RP embodies historical knowledge and experience and emphasizes the need for case-by-case and site-specific conditional assessments.

This RP applies to both existing and newly constructed facilities. Applicable distinctions for aquifer facilities are identified, as necessary. “Replacement,” as used in this document, refers to the complete replacement of a facility unit, as, for example, when an existing well is abandoned and replaced with a new well.

This document recommends that operators manage integrity through monitoring, maintenance, and remediation practices and apply specific  integrity assessments on a case-by-case basis.

The scope does not include pipelines, gas conditioning and liquid handling, compressors, and ancillary facilities associated with storage.
