The largest underground gas storage facility in the world is the Rough gas field, located in the North Sea off the coast of the United Kingdom. It has a capacity of around 3.5 billion cubic meters and primarily stores natural gas. This facility plays a crucial role in balancing supply and demand for gas in the UK market, especially during peak consumption periods.

Once natural gas is recovered, it is typically stored in underground or above-ground storage facilities. Underground storage facilities are usually depleted gas fields, aquifers, or salt caverns, where the gas is injected under pressure for later use. Above-ground storage can also include tanks or pipelines where gas is held at lower pressures.

Natural gas has a variety of storage options, but nearly all of them are focused on underground containment. The most common method of storage is to contain it within a depleted reservoir.
The natural gas storage system of Dominion Virginia Power has a total capacity of 947,000,000,000 cubic feet of storage, and is North America's largest such system.
Compressed natural gas (CNG) is the same as natural gas - the only difference is in the form in which they are stored. CNG is natural gas that has been compressed to reduce its volume for storage and transport, while natural gas is found in its uncompressed form underground.
