But du programme :

This project involves the testing, development and demonstration of equipment for monitoring subsurface gasx000D
migration and methane emissions from oil and natural gas wells. During the project a shallow (~10m deep)x000D
controlled release of methane will be conducted into the soil typical of the Western Canadian Sedimentaryx000D
basin to provide a platform for the testing of sensors and field-deployable analytical technologies for methanex000D
emissions detection and quantification. As we will be able to control leakage rates and duration, we will bex000D
able to demonstrate and assess the sensitivity of Eosense`s battery powered, passive methane sensor which canx000D
be deployed in the field to detect and quantify methane efflux at ground surface, in comparison to establishedx000D
UBC-owned instrumentation that does require a power supply. If proven effective such a sensor could bex000D
widely employed in the oil and gas industry (in Canada and abroad) to monitor for methane leakage and gasx000D
migration.
