2. Storage and Transportation of Natural Gas

Indiana has an extensive system of interstate and intrastate pipelines. These are high-pressure large-diameter steel pipes that are buried underground.

Natural gas is also stored underground in Indiana in two basic forms: as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and as gas in storage fields. These reservoirs are filled in times of low demand (summer) and drawn down in times of peak demand (winter).
