About
The Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs awarded a contract to Heriot-Watt University for the development of a soil-gas monitoring protocol to assess the integrity of decommissioned onshore oil and gas wells in England.
The project involved a desk-based review of existing methods, the development and trial of a monitoring scheme at a minimum of three decommissioned production wells, and the creation of a systematic protocol for making, interpreting, and reporting soil-gas measurements, focusing on methane.
The work was summarised in a report with recommendations and comparisons to other well integrity assessment techniques.
The contract value was £39,945.
