Monitoring Europe's Natural Gas Reservoirs

In a recent update, the European trade association Gas Infrastructure Europe has released the most comprehensive and current dataset on natural gas storage in European Union (EU) countries. This valuable resource, provided by the Association of European Gas Storage Operators (AGSI) and processed by KYOS, offers detailed and up-to-date information on gas storage facilities across Europe [4].

The dataset provides daily storage fullness levels, withdrawal and injection rates compared to historical averages, minima, and maxima for underground gas storage facilities in EU countries. For those interested in Germany's storage status, the dataset includes key data points such as:

  • Current storage fullness percentage relative to historical values.
  • Daily injection/withdrawal activity compared with historical norms.
  • Trends in storage utilization for the current year.

The KYOS platform integrates this data for trading and forecasting purposes, making it an invaluable tool for those seeking a comprehensive and frequently updated source for natural gas storage in Europe.

While other datasets, like Bruegel's aggregated European gas import and storage data [1][3], provide context on import flows and infrastructure, they are less granular on daily storage status broken down by country. The EUGasSC dataset focuses more on gas supply balances than detailed storage levels per country [5].

For precise numbers or visualizations of Germany's current storage extent, the KYOS website's gas storage module is the primary reference. The image accompanying this article, credited to Flickr user Tom Page, does not provide any specific data or information about gas storage in European countries.

In conclusion, for detailed and up-to-date data on natural gas storage across EU countries including Germany, use the AGSI/KYOS underground gas storage dataset available via their platform and website, which reflects real-time storage fullness and operational data [4].
