Abstract: Sonication technology is being developed, under the sponsorship of the National Energy Technology Laboratory, for the remediation of well bore damage in underground natural gas storage wells. Two separate technologies, lowfrequency sonication and underwater plasma, were developed and tested during the last 2 years. Although the underwater plasma technology showed great potential at removing scale and rust, there are several areas that require further research and development before fieldtesting can proceed. However, low-frequency sonication was very efficient at removing scale and rust in laboratory testing. A prototypelaboratory unit was developed and was modified for additional laboratory tests and field tests in an observation well at Nicor Gas Pontiac Storage Field. The technology, project results, and accomplishments are discussed.
