2010-2016 data from an environmental monitoring campaign near abandoned boreholes on two Polish shale gas exploration sites. The dataset contains field collection details and results of methane, ethane, and carbon dioxide measurements from soil gas samples. It was collected by the British Geological Survey using Supel Inert Foil gas sampling bags and gas chromatography.
Use Cases
- Analyze methane, ethane, and carbon dioxide concentration trends from soil gas samples to assess post-hydraulic fracturing environmental impact.
- Correlate soil gas measurement results with operational timelines (2010-2016) to evaluate long-term site remediation.
- Compare gas composition data between the two Polish shale gas exploration sites to identify location-specific leakage patterns.
Strengths
- Data covers a 7-year operational period (2010-2016) providing longitudinal monitoring.
- Measurements include three specific greenhouse gases: methane, ethane, and carbon dioxide.
- Collection methodology specified: Supel Inert Foil gas sampling bags and gas chromatography.
Limitations
- Sample size, row count, and column structure are unknown, limiting assessment of statistical power.
- Geographic scope is limited to only two specific sites in Poland.
