Proposed Natural Gas Storage in Salt Cavities and associated pipeline systems
King Street Energy (Cheshire) Ltd is proposing to store natural gas in underground cavities leached in the salt layer some 400m below the surface of the Holford Brine Field near King Street in Rudheath. The company is a subsidiary of NPL Estates Ltd (NPL) is proposing to construct ten cavities, each with a volume of 400,000 cubic metres. It is expected that up to 240 million cubic metres (mcm) of gas will be stored in total, of which up to 160mcm of working gas will be moved in and out during normal operations. The cavities would be formed by dissolving the rock salt with water piped in from the Mersey Estuary, near Bromborough. The waste brine would be pumped back to the estuary via a second pipeline.
Both of the proposed pipelines would pass through parts of Moulton.
