Description

The objectives of this project were to identify reliable methods for analyzing the chemical and isotopic composition of free and dissolved gases in shallow groundwater, and to thoroughly characterize the chemical and isotopic composition of shallow groundwater from selected wells in order to obtain a better knowledge of groundwater resources in the province. This information is crucial for future attempts to monitor potential impacts of produced fluids or gases from CBM operations on shallow aquifers.

Description

Coalbed methane, also known as natural gas in coal, is in the early stages of development in Alberta and has significant growth potential. With this potential for development, it is necessary to obtain consistent baseline data on groundwater to ensure the protection of groundwater resources and the environment. This standard makes baseline testing a mandatory regulatory requirement.
