I am working on adding capacity at this site.
The Northern Natural Gas Company operates a major underground gas storage facility near Redfield in Dallas County. The facility stores natural gas that is transported via pipelines from fields in oklahoma. The gas is stored in sandstone and limestone aquifers beneath naturally-occurring structural domes that formed along the Thurman Redfield fault zone. originally certificated in 1954, the facility encompasses approximately 12,600 acres of surface area, with natural gas stored in four stacked underground aquifer-type reservoir formations; the elgin, Galena, St. Peter, and Mt. Simon formations. The facility can store and withdraw as much as 133.75 billion cubic feet of natural gas, and has provided Iowa with a steady supply gas for energy generation, heating, and fertilizer production, even in times when the out-of-state supply was limited. Within the Redfield storage facility there are approximately 60 miles of pipeline, a compressor station with seven compressor units totaling 16,760 horsepower, and multiple injection/withdrawal and observation wells into each reservoir.
