A third of average yearly consumption stores i.e. expenditure-promoted deposits of natural gas from porous rock in underground memory. In 500 to 1,500 m at present more than 2 billion m stores depth natural gas. The central monitoring station for natural gas transport and - storage is in Auersthal. The OMV operates likewise natural gas camps in Reyersdorf (with 1.770 10^6 m the largest), Tallesbrunn and Thann, and RISE UP operates a memory in Puchkirchen.
