Gas Storage
Hawiyah: Leading in gas storage
Our strategy includes developing unconventional gas resources, increasing production and investing in additional infrastructure to meet the large and growing domestic demand for low-cost, cleaner energy.
Saudi Arabia’s first underground natural gas storage project is located in the Kingdom’s eastern desert region.
Aramco’s Hawiyah Gas storage (HGS) facility receives sales gas from the Master Gas System for injection back into depleted nonassociated gas reservoir, Unayzah.
Designed to inject an impressive 1.5 billion standard cubic feet per day (Bscfd), HGS, when needed, also has the capacity to withdraw up to 2.0 Bscfd of the stored sales gas.
These numbers have made the Kingdom a global leader with subsurface gas storage capacity in a single field, and with a second underground gas storage project planned for the Ain Dar field, HGS is transforming Aramco’s approach to its gas portfolio.
