its Abovian facility, Roland Adonts, an aide to ARG CEO, said today.

reservoir, which is located 1000 meters deep with a capacity to hold
19-20 million cubic meters of gas, 1.6 times more than any of the
currently used reservoirs can do.
This, he said, will increase the current capacity of the gas storage
to 140 million cubic meters. He said in the facility's capacity will
be raised to 170 million cubic meters in 3-4 years and to 200 million
cubic meters in nine years.
Vyacheslav Asriyan, head of an ARG department in charge of the
system's operation and maintenance, said ARG will have invested one
billion Drams by the yearend in upgrading the Abovian facility.
The Abovian gas storage is one of the principal elements of Armenia's
gas transmission system ensuing the country's energy security. It
was constructed in 1962 on rock salt deposits at a depth of 800-1,000
meters. The gas storage regulates also the seasonal gas consumption
by Armenia's industrial sector and supplies gas to the country's most
important gas consumers.
