EFD Field Trial of Dissolved Gas Sensor
Measuring concentrations of dissolved gases in ground water remains a challenging proposition. EFD is coordinating a test of a Raman spectroscopy downhole tool for this purpose. This technology is a offered by WellDog, a service company based in Laramie, Wyoming, offering services in the US and Australia. The Raman spectroscopy tool will be field-tested at a site located in an area known to have dissolved gas present in ground water.
"The Raman effect occurs when light scattering from a material excites the natural vibrational motion of the interatomic bonds in that material. During that excitation, the photons comprising the light lose a certain amount of energy and therefore change in color. By measuring the color of the resulting photons, Raman spectroscopy identifies the materials. By examining the number of photons at each color, Raman spectroscopy also measures the concentration of the materials."

The EFD program, funded by federal, state and foreign government agencies, industry and environmental organizations, provides unbiased science to policy makers and identifies, develops and tests new technologies, processes and systems to reduce the environmental footprint associated with oil and gas activities, from well site selection through natural gas compression. The program, approximately $4 million per year, is engaged in research and technology transfer activities from the Western Slope of the Rockies to the Ukraine, and from the North Slope of Alaska to Columbia (South America). Research includes land, air and water issues, as well as public perception investigations. The program was honored with the Chairman's Stewards Award for Environmental Partnership at the 2009 Annual Meeting of the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission.
