18 out of 27 designed reservoirs of natural gas are currently exploited
at Abovian underground gas storage station.
Despite limited financial resources related to consequences of the
global financial crisis, ArmRosgazprom CJSC continues working on
reconstruction and modernization of Abovian underground gas storage
station, the company's press service reported.
In October 2010 the company completed construction of another
underground reservoir to put it into exploitation. The first reservoir,
which was constructed by own efforts, is the biggest among the
exploited ones. Construction of such reservoirs is an expensive
and complex technological process, which takes from 3.5 to 4 years.
The new underground reservoir provides with the opportunity to store
additional 20mln cubic meters of gas, bringing the total volume of
storage to 138-140mln cubic meters of natural gas.
According to Advisor to the CEO of ArmRosgazprom CJSC Roland Adonts,
the new reservoir construction started in 2006, now it is ready for
exploitation.
In case of favorable developments, ArmRosgazprom CJSC will be able to
store 170-180mln cubic meters of gas by the end of 2013, what will
considerably increase the reliability of gas supplies to Armenia's
consumers, as well as the level of the country's energy security.
