In this webinar, we will unpack the 2nd Editions of API RP 1170, Design and Operation of Solution-mined Salt Caverns Used for Natural Gas Storage, and API RP 1171, Functional Integrity of Natural Gas Storage in Depleted Hydrocarbon Reservoirs and Aquifer Reservoirs, and discuss their impact on underground natural gas storage operators. With the updated standards having taken effect on January 1, 2026, operators need to understand the latest compliance practices and evaluate how their existing programs align with the revised requirements.
The session will provide an overview of the significant changes introduced in the 2nd Edition, including enhanced risk management concepts, threat and hazard evaluation, preventative and mitigative measures, performance measures, site safety and security, procedures, training, monitoring, maintenance, and documentation requirements.
Attendees will gain practical insight into the intent behind the revisions, common implementation challenges, and strategies for integrating the updated requirements into existing underground natural gas storage programs. Whether you are involved in operations, engineering, integrity management, compliance, or regulatory oversight, this webinar will help you better understand the latest compliance standards and their role in supporting safe and reliable gas storage operations.
