Final Report— Evaluating Fugitive Methane Oxidation in Natural Soils of British Columbia (Phase 2)

The final report from Phase 2 of the BC OGRIS funded study by the Institute of Geoenergy Engineering, Heriot Watt University into fugitive methane oxidation in natural soils of British Columbia is now available in the Engineering and Safety Research section of the Completed Projects page. The research focuses on the potential for greenhouse gas mitigation at integrity compromised oil and gas wells. The findings have led to a follow-on project looking into seasonal variations in methane oxidation in natural soils (e.g., spring and fall) and comparing to the relatively high rates of oxidation observed in the summertime.
