    YEREVAN, November 2, /ARKA/. Armenia's natural gas operator,
    ArmRosGazprom (ARG), a joint venture with Russian Gazprom, will
    put into action a new underground natural gas storage reservoir at
    its Abovian facility, Roland Adonts, an aide to ARG CEO, said today.
    Speaking at a news conference he said it will be the 27-th underground
    reservoir, which is located 1000 meters deep with a capacity to hold
    19-20 million cubic meters of gas, 1.6 times more than any of the
    currently used reservoirs can do.

    This, he said, will increase the current capacity of the gas storage
    to 140 million cubic meters. He said in the facility's capacity will
    be raised to 170 million cubic meters in 3-4 years and to 200 million
    cubic meters in nine years.

    Vyacheslav Asriyan, head of an ARG department in charge of the
    system's operation and maintenance, said ARG will have invested one
    billion Drams by the yearend in upgrading the Abovian facility.

    The Abovian gas storage is one of the principal elements of Armenia's
    gas transmission system ensuing the country's energy security. It
    was constructed in 1962 on rock salt deposits at a depth of 800-1,000
    meters. The gas storage regulates also the seasonal gas consumption
    by Armenia's industrial sector and supplies gas to the country's most
    important gas consumers.
