The main purpose of the project is to dissolve the salt reserves stored in 40 caves near Lake Tuz (Salt Lake) with fresh water and in its place store 5 billions m3 of natural gas.
Within the scope of the project, fresh water taken from the Hirfanli Dam through the intake structure will be transmitted to the pump station. The water transmitted to the pump station will then be sent to the caves, from where the salt water formed in the caves after the dissolution process will be transmitted back via CTP pipes to the pump station and then discharged into Lake Tuz.
When the project is completed, the gas will be stored in the existing underground storage facilities and the by then completed support facilities at a rate equivalent to 10% of Turkey’s total gas consumption until the year 2023.
