Abstract: In this paper, the development tendency in the construction of underground gas storage in foreign countries is predicated. It is considered that the standardization technology design should be adopted in the design of underground gas storage to decrease the unnecessary coordination between design departments, simplify the selection of technology program, shorten the construction duration of underground gas storage and ensure the construction quality of underground gas storage. The existing underground gas storages in the world are investigated in detail. In accordance with the construction planning of pipeline project for "West-East Gas Project", the future work to be done in no distant future in peak shaving, selection of storage location, design and construction of reserve storage, as well as horizontal direction drilling is put forward in the article.
