Abstract

A system for identifying migration direction of natural gases is provided and may include a network ofHe gas sensors and a migration monitoring hub. The network ofHe gas sensors may be operable to identify aHe concentration in gas samples. The migration monitoring hub may be in communication with the network ofHe gas sensors and may comprise a user interface and a processor. The processor may be operable to determine a direction of increasingHe concentration and map increasingHe concentration. The user interface may be operable to display migration information. A method for identifying migration direction of natural gases is also provided and may include isolating a target portion of a petroleum exploration environment, detecting gas samples from a network ofHe gas sensors, identifying aHe concentration in the gas samples, and determining a direction of increasingHe concentration in the gas samples.
