Shale Gas Operators monitor their sites by manually extracting samples and analysing them in a laboratory every few weeks. Pollution can therefore go undetected for several weeks.
The ShaleSafe sensor system will monitor key parameters several time a day, alerting the Operator whenever any pollution is detected to provide greater security for citizens, companies and regulators.
How ShaleSafe Helps
The ShaleSafe sensor system, lowered into monitoring wells, will monitor key parameters several time a day, alerting the Shale Gas Operator whenever any pollution is detected and providing greater security for:
- Citizens: ShaleSafe-equipped Operators can provide local councils with reassurance that any pollution will be detected as soon as it occurs, not weeks later
- Operators: lower pollution risks, and operations futureproofed against regulatory change
- Regulators and Policymakers: ensuring pollution is detected immediately, protecting both the environment and the emergence of this new energy industry.
Join our pilot phase
ShaleSafe is being commercialised by the SHALESAFE research project. Shalegas operators, environmental monitoring specialists and regulators are welcome to join our pilot testing phase, planned for late 2017, so get in touch to discuss how ShaleSafe can help you.
