Wild Goose Storage LLC has completed an 11 Bcf expansion of its facility in Northern California. Since acquiring Wild Goose three years ago, Alberta-based Niska Gas Storage US LLC has increased its capacity to 29 Bcf, and it is in the process of expanding the facility’s injection and withdrawal capabilities, pushing injection from 250 to 450 MMcf/d and the withdrawal capability from 450 to 700 MMcf/d. Niska said the increases will be completed this winter. Longer term, the company has applied to the California Public Utilities Commission to expand Wild Goose’s overall capacity to 50 Bcf, with injection and withdrawal rates at 650 MMcf/d and 1.2 Bcf/d, respectively.
