Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The aim of the course is to teach students to select suitable structures for underground storage, to prepare suitable projects both in the pre-project stage and in the project stage. Further, the aim is to teach students to design a suitable mode of operation of underground gas storage facility (UGSF) and its monitoring, to evaluate economically the operation and to assess the environmental impact of UGSF.
