Soil Gas Measurements of Radon, CO2 and Hydrocarbon Concentrations as Indicators of Subsurface Hydrocarbon Accumulation and Hydrocarbon Seepage

چکیده
Soil gas measurements of radon (222Rn), CO2, and hydrocarbon concentrations, as well gamma-ray spectrometry, were conducted at two separate locations to estimate the measurement results for known accumulations in subsurface oil seepage on surface. The aim study was confirm applicability method identifying migration pathways (e.g., faults) detect possible seepages hydrocarbons surface investigate health issue potential about soil analysis results. Site A investigations performed with a large number sampling points provide sufficient spatial coverage capture influence lithologic variability pathway measured parameters. For investigation site B, positioned reflect situation between area above producing fields areas no confirmed accumulation. presented show that it is distinguish near-surface lithology (gamma-ray spectrometry), characterize pathway, indicate Areas generally have elevated concentrations detectable heavier sporadic methane gas, which contrasts lower levels lack accumulation subsurface.

Characterization and Evaluation of Light Hydrocarbon in Northwestern Iranian Crude Oil by Detailed Hydrocarbon Analysis (D.H.A)Gas Chromatography
Lighthydrocarbons are commonly used to evaluatecrude oils to determine oil families in reservoirs undergone some kind of alteration process. In this study crude oil contentsfromNorthwestern IranDelta (samples A, B and C)were analyzed in order to evaluate the IranDelta petroleum system independent of higher molecular weight markers. Ultra high resolution gas chromatography was used in separation...
متن کاملPredicting Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Concentrations in Soil and Water Samples
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are compounds found in the environment that can be harmful to humans. They are typically formed due to incomplete combustion and as such remain after burning coal, oil, petrol, diesel, wood, household waste and so forth. Testing laboratories routinely screen soil and water samples taken from potentially contaminated sites for PAHs using Gas Chromatography...
