Visit to the Yela Underground Gas Storage Facility (UGS) in Brihuega

Sunday, 5 November 2023, 8:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m. | Madrid, Spain

Course Content

This one day field trip will depart from UCM Facultad de Ciencias Geológicas and visit the Yela Underground Gas Storage facility in Brihuega. Then travel to Sacedón and the Buendía Dam.

The Yela Underground Gas Storage (UGS) is located in the municipality of Brihuega, Guadalajara province, 100 km from Madrid. Enagas Transporte, the Spanish main TSO (Transmission System Operator), operates the facilities. The Yela storage site is located in the north-eastern part of the Madrid Basin, within the Tajo basin in central Spain. The Cenozoic Madrid Basin is bordered by the intraplate mountain range Central System to the north and the fold and thrust belt Iberian Chain to the northeast which developed during the Cenozoic. The basin was filled and deformed during Cenozoic times due to the folding of the Iberian Peninsula lithosphere related to the convergence between Iberia and Eurasian plates.
