5th Annual European Gas Storage Conference January 30, 2011

Gas storage facilities are of central importance to the security of gas supply across Europe. With regional gas demand set to grow and market convergence to continue, the need for additional storage facilities within Europe is of major strategic importance.

The development of unconventional gas sources could further spur the construction of additional gas storage facilities within Europe and impact the price and value of storage itself.

These facilities are also a prime means of investment for market operators to generate revenue by investing when gas prices are low.

Platts 5th Annual European Gas Storage conference will once again assemble the industry’s leading operating companies, traders, governments, national and regional regulatory bodies, investors and market observers to examine the key challenges as well as highlight potential opportunities.
