In some countries, decline in energy resources including fuel gas happenes in cold months of the year. In the other hand, the capacity of pipelines, which transfer the natural gas to the costumers, exhibits some limitations. Gas storage located near the consumption area could be considered as a practical solution to overcome to this limitation during the cold months. Determining the reservoir storage, injectivity capacities and the impact of pertinant petrophysical properties on the gas storage process is a key factor that should be performed prior to the field planning and operation. In this work, a full-field study is conducted on Underground Gas Storage (UGS) in one of the Iranian formations to identify the effect of controlling parameters on the process of gas storage. For this purpose, a commercial numerical reservoir simulator is used and the results and predictions are produced to demonstrate how the formation would react towards the gas injection process in an underground geological formation.
