Hungarian oil and gas company MOL on Wednesday said that it and Russian peer Gazprom decided against building an underground gas storage facility based on the results of a feasibility study.

MOL signed an agreement with Gazprom Export on establishing the facility in a 50-50 joint venture in 2009.

Construction was set to start after 2010 and the 1.3 billion cubic meter facility was to start operating in 2012 or 2013.
