Underground gas storage facilities provide unique challenges for monitoring and data acquisition. Cathodic protection (CP) data and internal corrosion rate data can be valuable for casing and pipeline integrity management and frequent pressure measurements can alert system operators in the event of a potentially dangerous overpressure condition. Typically this data acquisition requires multiple systems providing the data to different departments and users within the operating organization. Timely access to comprehensive data from the storage field can help prioritize preventive maintenance and facilitate rapid response to system anomalies and failures that could be catastrophic. Recent incidents have greatly raised interest in the integrity management of underground gas storage facilities. The presentationdiscusses use of combined direct monitoring and wireless local networking technologies allowing multiple data types from several locations in the gas storage field to be accessed through a single field system and the data quickly disseminated to multiple departments and users within the organization. New monitoring technologies can provide more rapid and comprehensive information regarding the status of storage facility assets cathodic protection system performance and pressure levels enabling faster response to anomalies that threaten facility integrity.

Key Words: Remote monitoring, wireless networking, cathodic protection, corrosion rate, pressure monitoring
