Hydrogen & Helium Prospecting Services
Hydrogen (H2) and helium (He) prospecting involves identifying and evaluating potential sources of these valuable gases. Accurate detection and measurement are essential for assessing their viability as energy sources. ScanWell’s advanced diagnostics provide non-intrusive, real-time monitoring to detect and quantify H2 and He concentrations, helping operators assess reservoir potential and ensure efficient exploration.
He & H2 Prospecting
Hydrogen and helium are significant in the energy industry due to their unique properties and potential applications. Hydrogen is a clean, efficient fuel with high energy content, making it an essential component in fuel cells and as a potential alternative to fossil fuels. It’s often touted as a key player in transitioning to a low-carbon economy. Helium, on the other hand, is crucial in energy-related applications such as cooling in nuclear reactors and as a carrier gas in various scientific and industrial processes due to its inertness and thermal conductivity. These components are traditionally not quantified in the exploration and appraisal stage until recent years; thus operators are now relooking at mature gas fields to map Hydrogen and Helium levels to better determine economic viability from a new macro-economic perspective. Fields that may no longer be economically viable from a traditional hydrocarbon sense, may be viable due to elevated levels of previously unquantified Hydrogen or Helium. ScanWell has as part of it’s OPRA suite of services, developed dedicated Hydrogen and Helium analyses modules that use optical based methodologies to determine the concentration of these components in real time; along with optional C1-C6+ and CO2 optical measurements, providing accurate data for operator review.
