Provides expert support to projects involving litigious or contentious subjects. These expert witness services are founded on chemistry principles and proper application of scientific methods. 
Nobody likes to talk about them but many of our current and future clients have them. The vaguely regulated surface casing vent fluid leaks. What to do about them? We have been working with our clients to provide support for monitoring, sampling and determining the sources of surface casing vent fluids (both gases and liquids). We have developed proprietary sampling and monitoring systems that allow us to collect representative samples which can then be analyzed for specific marker compounds and/or isotopes to allow source determination.
The combination of monitoring (rates of flows) combined with geochemical forensic analytical strategies is unparalleled in industry and provides our clients with the latest technology to determine sources of SCV flows so they can be fixed as part of routine well repair or for abandonment purposes.
