The argument is that, unlike oil storage, in which air can enter the tank (or underground cavern) to replace oil that is drained out, stored gas cannot have its volume replace by air (the gas is eventually diluted too much to be useful). Under this model, not all of the stored gas will be extractable.
I have no idea is this author is correct or not, and would be interested in any thoughts you have.
Hi all,
A few months ago I saw an article in The Saker where the writer claims that EU gas reserves are not as good as they say.

Hi,
Thanks for bringing this up. I will ask this from an expert (Alexander Stahl).
