Strategic Gas and Oil Storage Facilities in Hungary

In Hungary, strategic hydrocarbon reserves are stored at several locations, depending on geological conditions and industrial centers

Strategic gas storage facilities:
>Hungarian natural gas storage facilities are located in porous rock layers (depleted gas fields). The strategic (safety) reserve is primarily stored in the Szőreg-1 storage facility, but the country's entire storage capacity is distributed among the following locations:
>Algyő (Szőreg-1): This storage facility was specifically created for strategic purposes and is operated by HEXUM Földgáz Zrt.
> Zsana: The largest storage facility in the country, where gas is stored in limestone.
> Hajdúszoboszló: Underground storage facility with a sandstone structure.
> Pusztaederics: Also constructed in sandstone.
> Kardoskút: Smaller capacity, sandstone-based storage facility.

Strategic oil storage facilities:
The storage of crude oil and petroleum product stocks (petrol, diesel) is coordinated by the Hungarian Hydrocarbon Stockpiling Association (MSZKSZ). Storage is partly on its own bases and partly in rented capacities:
> Százhalombatta: One of the most significant storage capacities is located in the vicinity of the Dunai Refinery.
> Tiszaújváros: Warehouses in the area of ​​the Tisza Refinery.
> Vámosgyörk, Komárom, Pétfürdő: Other important logistics points and storage bases where MSZKSZ and its partners stockpile.
> Fényeslitke: A strategically important point near the Ukrainian border.
