23rd World Gas Conference, Amsterdam 2006 NOVEL BO OLE- AND TEST PROCEDURES FOR UNDERGROUND GAS STORAGE ASSETS BY USING AN INTELLIGENT PIG FOR DOWNHOLE INSPECTIONS Main author Claudia Becker, Untergrundspeicher- und Geotechnologie-Systeme GmbH, Mittenwalde, Germany Co-authors Herr Winfried Becker, VNG - Verbundnetz Gas AG, Leipzig, Germany Robert Scheler, VNG - Verbundnetz Gas AG, Leipzig, Germany ABSTRACT Defects both within the base material and within areas of casing connections (screwed / welded) can particularly affect the integrity of bo oles apart from numerous other operational demands/stresses as well as material and environment characteristics. The weld condition is vitally important for the evaluation of welded installed casings. For this reason on behalf of the VNG - Verbundnetz Gas AG by the UGS - Untergrundspeicher- und Geotechnologie-Systeme GmbH 2004 a comp ensive research regarding an appropriate inspection method/inspection tool that offers improvements to previously used methods/tools was done. Since in the pipeline industry integrity evaluations of pipelines based on the inspections results of intelligent pigging systems are successfully performed, in connection with the research also the possibility of the application of an adapted standard pigging system of the pipeline industry for downhole inspections was investigated (figure). The research tied in with former investigations of the UGS GmbH. On the basis of the study “The application of in
