Reopening of Rough gas storage facility in UK

Reopening of Rough gas storage facility in UK

Reopening of the Rough gas storage facility, having completed significant engineering upgrades over the summer and commissioning over early autumn.

The initial investment program means the company has made its first injection of gas into the site in over 5 years and is in a position to store up to 30 billion cubic feet (bcf) of gas for UK homes and businesses over winter 2022/23, boosting the UK’s energy resilience.

Rough gas storage facility in UK

Rough field into the world’s biggest methane and hydrogen storage facility, bolstering the UK’s energy security, delivering a net zero electricity system by 2035".

The work done so far means that Rough is operating at around 20% of its previous capacity this winter, immediately making it the UK’s largest gas storage site once again and adding 50% to the UK’s gas storage volume. Rough will help to balance the UK’s gas market, injecting gas into the facility when prices are low and putting that gas back into the UK’s gas network when demand is higher.

Part of my publication in The Daily Star(13 April'2020) on storage of crude oil 

Bangladesh is one of the oil importing country but do not have much capability like oil storage capacity, refinery and proper distribution & marketing policy. Mention few proposals on unrefined or refined oil storage and supply procedure inside country. It could also be the cost saving long-term business policy.   

a) Sangu platform was build for offshore drilling and gas supply from offshore to national grid in Chittagong, Bangladesh. This platform is holding connection of 10-12 wells of Sangu gas field, so far the depth of each well is around 3500m. Sangu gas field is abandoned and all the wells are sealed. Sangu platform is connected by production pipeline to Chittagong National Grid that can be 20-22km long. This 10-12 wells of Sangu field and 20-22km long pipeline could be storage tank for imported crude oil.
