Faults and associated fracture zones often provide the paths for migration of the gas, such as methane, hydrogen and helium, formed in the deep subsurface formations. In this study, we conducted the field measurement of methane gas concentration using a back-pack type portable Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS) gas analyzer at the Atera fault area in Gifu prefecture. The measurement result suggests that the trace gas measurement using a CRDS technology can be one of the promising approaches to delineate the locations of the active faults creating migration paths of the deep-seated fluids.

To investigate the possibility of cavity ring-down spectroscopy technology to the gas release detection from the active fault to the atmosphere, we conducted field measurements at the Atera fault area in Gifu prefecture, Japan. Based on the results, we expect that the real-time high precision gas measurement can be one of the promising approaches to locate the active faults creating paths for the deepseated fluids.

Faults and fractures often create migration pathways for gases formed in the subsurface. To investigate the applicability of the trace gas measurement to geologic seep detection, we conducted a series of mobile methane concentration surveys using Cavity Ring-down Spectroscop technology. The results support that precise trace gas measurement can be one of the promising approaches to characterize migration pathways and sources of methane in the subsurface.
