Optimal conditions for storage and bulk transport of natural gas were defined in the 1960’s by H. C. Secord. When the cost of containment is combined with the cargo density and cost (and/or energy) required for compression and refrigeration of the natural gas, true optima can be defined for containment in carbon and stainless steel tanks. The optimal conditions were explored and confirmed through the full scale test program of R. J. Broeker and the Columbia Gas System Service Corp. through the early 1970’s.
