Goal of the Forum
After more than a decade of lackluster performance, natural gas storage assets in the U.S. are back in vogue and thriving. Firm Storage Service (FSS) lease rates continue to rise, driven by increasing gas price volatility, growing operational needs for high-cycle service, and scarcity premiums in the market. Super Cycle 2.0 is truly underway for natural gas storage assets.
This resurgence has generated tremendous interest from gas storage customers, project developers, operators, lenders, and investors. It is an opportune time to bring these stakeholders together for a day of insightful discussions and networking.
