Abstract: The need for integrity of gas storage reservoirs is apparent. When storing gas in depleted reservoirs with old abandoned wells, verification of this integrity requires knowing that the plugging is adequate for storage operations. The need of verification resulted in the request for and development of the Birdwell Casing Fiiider. The resulting tool measures effects in the earths magnetic field. The old casing string acts as a bar magnet with the casing top and seat being the poles. More specifically the tool measures the differential of the horizontal component of the magnetic field between two sensors. This paper will report on the development, testing, and operational procedures that evolved around this tool.
