Distinguishing drilling-induced artifacts from naturally occurring hydrogen in soil gas surveys: Insights from sub-circular depressions
Natural hydrogen is emerging as a promising low-carbon energy source. However, its detection remains challenging due to the difficulty of distinguishing naturally occurring hydrogen from drilling-induced artifacts. This challenge is particularly evident in sub-circular depressions (SCDs), which are often the focus of exploration. This study investigates whether SCDs exhibit consistent areal patterns in soil properties and how they influence drilling-induced hydrogen artifacts in soil gas surveys.
Soil properties were measured across 24 SCDs in the Yilgarn Craton and Perth Basin, Western Australia. In total, 83 holes were drilled for hydrogen soil gas analysis, with repeated measurements performed without redrilling. Drilling induced hydrogen artifacts were measured at up to 464 ppm in 85% of locations, primarily in high-strength, low-moisture soils, while only 15% represented naturally occurring hydrogen. Consistent patterns in soil properties correlated with artifact generation.
Refined sampling techniques, including repeated measurements and expanded soil property analysis, are essential for distinguishing genuine hydrogen seepage from artifacts, enhancing exploration accuracy.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc.
The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
