Development of sites at which natural gas is stored in depleted/partially depleted reservoirs

This SPC provides guidance on the application of Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) and Pipelines Safety regulations (PSR) to the development and operation of sites at which natural gas is stored in depleted (or partially depleted) reservoirs.

It applies to establishments consisting of a single depleted reservoir, import and export process plant and interconnecting pipework (i.e. the pipeline(s) within the COMAH establishment that connect the depleted reservoir and the process plant).
