Methane and carbon dioxide are among the most active of greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. Anthropogenic sources have a significant share of their emission into the atmosphere. One of the major sources of emissions of these gases can be exploration activity and operating oil&gas industry. It is associated with the possibility of uncontrolled migration of reservoir gases in the course of work consisting of geological exploration and recognition of hydrocarbon deposits by drilling. In connection wit...

In the zones of boreholes drilled to explore and extract hydrocarbons uncontrolled migration of gas to soil environment and therefore to atmosphere may occur. Such phenomena may be related to insufficient tightness of the rock mass or poor technical condition of the borehole. Due to the occurrence of potential risks to the environment and human health and life, a set of constant monitoring probes was designed and tested. Location of six permanent monitoring probes were based on the results of surface geochemical s...
