AGL Resources retained the services of Dr. Brian Lock, an internationally recognized expert on the geology of South Louisiana in general and particularly salt dome structures like the one under Lake Peigneur, to review data, visit the site, study salt plug samples and draw on his vast expertise to report on issues raised regarding the integrity of the salt dome under the lake. A summary of the information prepared by Dr. Lock for AGL Resources and our Jefferson Island Storage & Hub (JISH) can be found here.

Centered in the waters of Lake Peigneur sit two barely noticeable wellheads that contribute to the security of our nation’s energy needs. Nature has not only provided the area with a beautiful recreational lake for the enjoyment of fishermen and boaters, but it has also given the area a unique geological structure known as a salt dome. This solid salt dome structure allows for the safe storage of natural gas and other hydrocarbons in man-made caverns almost a mile below the Earth’s surface.

AGL Resources plans to expand Jefferson Island Storage & Hub’s (JISH) current operations by adding two additional natural gas storage caverns in the solid impermeable salt structure under Lake Peigneur to the two caverns operating currently. Applications for permits for the expansion have been filed with, or granted by, a number of local, state and federal regulators. Learn More > |

In September, AGL Resources hosted an open forum to describe the proposed expansion of our natural gas storage caverns in the Jefferson Island salt dome more than half a mile beneath Lake Peigneur and to answer questions from local residents about the project.
We encourage you to read the open letter from the president of Jefferson Island Storage & Hub, LLC and review the presentations from our open forum to learn more about our project, the many layers of safeguards to ensure the continued safe operation of JISH, and the growing importance of natural gas as the fuel of choice as America looks for clean-burning and domestically abundant sources of energy to help curb greenhouse gas emissions.
