Unocal expands storage facility

The Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission has approved an application of Unocal Alaska to expand the Kenai gas storage facility to include a second well. The original gas storage well, KGSF No. 1, was completed exclusively in the Tyonek 64-5 reservoir. The second well, the KGSF No. 7A, will be completed to the same reservoir. The estimated maximum volume of gas to be injected in the No. 7A is 30 million cubic feet per day.

The commission said that any further expansion of the Kenai gas storage facility will require definition of an affected area corresponding to the areal extent of the Tyonek 64-5 reservoir and a well spacing rule for gas storage wells. Gas storage allows accumulation of natural gas for use when consumption peaks in the winter.
