For the last few weeks a snubbing rig has been on site to remove equipment from inside the cavern to enable the cavern to become commercially operational. In October caverns 11, 12 and 13 will be operation. Work continues to complete the conversion to commercial operation of caverns 14 and 15 expect by the end of the year.
