EXPERTS FOR LEAK AND INTEGRITY TESTING

With the update of the BVOT regulation of Lower Saxony in May 2022, there are stricter requirements for deep wells. Oil, gas and storage wells located in Lower Saxony must be regularly checked by certified experts for tightness and integrity. Nine experts of the UGS GmbH certified by the LBEG are available for the inspection of oil, gas, storage (cavern, pore storage facilities) and geothermal wells.

Inspection bases:

  • Tiefbohrverordnung – BVOT of the State of Lower Saxony, 17 May 2022
  • DIN EN ISO 16530, PErdöl- und Erdgasindustrie – Bohrungsintegrität – Teil 1: Lebenszykluslenkung
  • BVEG Leitfaden Bohrungsintegrität

Our services:

  • Concept development
  • Project-accompanying and preliminary inspections of new wells
  • Testing of existing boreholes: every two years for tightness and every six years for integrity
  • Check after major changes

TRAINING COURSES THAT INSPIRE!

We offer customised training courses on a range of topics related to underground energy storage.
