Ongoing assessments of the marketable storage capacity

The average calorific value and compressibility of the Natural Gas stored in the storage facilities of GSD changes as the high calorific Danish Natural Gas already stored is gradually replaced by imported Natural Gas from Europe. This substitution results in changing of the marketable storage capacity, expressed in an equivalent energy unit.

Therefore GSD needs to reassess the marketable storage capacity on regular basis.
