ABSTRACT

Soil-gas light-hydrocarbon (methane through n-butane) pattern changes were measured annually for five years over part of an oil field in Brown County, Texas, U.S.A. During the monitored period, additional wells were drilled, depleted, and subjected to a waterflood. Annual soil-gas measurements detected changes in light-hydrocarbon concentrations attributable to these field operations.
