Grants and Contributions:

The purpose of this agreement is to support a workshop that will discuss the use of tracers (e.g. noble gases, fracking chemicals) to detect and identify the source (i.e. rock formation) of methane leaking from oil and gas wells. Robust and early detection and fingerprinting of gas leakage will reduce the magnitude of wellbore leakage by improving remediation of leaky wells, and will facilitate contamination dispute resolution.
