Texan energy infrastructure developer NeuVentus is holding a non-binding open season for natural gas storage at its Texas Reliability Underground Hub (TRU Hub). The salt cavern storage is located in Liberty County, with bidding scheduled to begin at 9:00 am Central Time on May 14.

The bidding process will conclude at 5:00 p.m. Central Time on Friday, June 27, 2025. To submit non-binding bids for storage capacity, interested parties are invited to email NeuVentus at TRUHub@neuventus.com.

TRU Hub is a fully permitted 12-cavern salt storage project, sited at the Moss Bluff salt dome. Capacity holders at the hub have access to 12 interstate and intrastate gas transmission lines, allowing them to transporting stored natural gas to LNG export projects both in Texas and Louisiana.

When fully developed, TRU Hub's 12 salt caverns will represent approximate total capacity of up to 96 billion cubic feet (96 Bcf) of high-deliverability gas capacity, 128 million barrels (128 MMbbls) of liquids storage, or a combination of gas and liquids cavern capacity.

NeuVentus also pointed out that TRU Hub is the closest developable salt property to Baytown and in close proximity to multiple HyVelocity Hub hydrogen projects in the Houston Ship Channel.
