Problem
Monitoring carbon dioxide levels around Class VI injection wells traditionally involves manual soil gas sampling, which is prone to human error and inconsistencies, especially in remote or harsh environments. This can lead to unreliable data collection and difficulties in complying with carbon sequestration regulations.
Solution
Engineering Design Group (EDG) provides automated soil gas sampling stations that enable continuous, real-time environmental monitoring for carbon capture and storage projects. These stations autonomously collect soil gas samples and environmental data on a pre-programmed schedule, eliminating the need for manual measurements. Data is transmitted via LTE Cat M1 connectivity to a secure cloud platform, where it can be viewed, collated, and compared against pre-injection baseline measurements. The EDG Client Portal and API facilitate data analysis, reporting, and integration with external systems, ensuring effective monitoring and verification of injection well performance.
Target Audience
The primary customers are organizations involved in carbon capture and storage projects, including energy companies, research institutions, and government agencies responsible for monitoring Class VI injection wells.
