Our group started in 1977 with the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, a nd we haven’t stopped since. We provide a comprehensive range of site underground consultancy and services, and supply instrumentation equipment for projects throughout the world. We can draw on a wide range of in-house knowledge and experience to deliver state-of-the-art, cost-effective solutions using methods, such as geophysical surveying, geotechnical characterization, hydrogeological testing and instrumentation.

Underground storage (UGS) is the safest, most reliable way to store liquids and gases at scale. UGS utilizes geologic structures to store natural gas, petroleum, hydrocarbons, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and other gases. Most American Gulf Coast UGS is in salt domes. However, salt beds, depleted oil and gas reservoirs, saline aquifers and hard rock caverns are also used to store our nation’s energy reserves and critical resources. UGS is free from inclement weather, vandalism and terrorism.

WSP specializes in underground injection control for saltwater disposal wells, carbon dioxide sequestration and acid gas injection wells. We work with midstream companies, utility companies and developers to safely store their products permanently or temporarily. We have extensive experience in assisting clients with a wide range of technical services in the assessment and development of salt cavern underground storage facilities.
