Abstract

A computer-implemented method for quantifying and assessing hydrogen shows in geological formations includes receiving raw advanced mud gas data including hydrogen gas and total hydrocarbon concentrations for one or more geological formations in a geographical area, calculating a baseline concentration value of hydrogen gas for each geological formation and removing said baseline concentration value from the raw advanced mud gas data, constructing corrected hydrogen gas concentration curves via cleaning of the raw advanced mud gas data, transforming the corrected hydrogen gas concentration curves into corresponding hydrogen gas concentration indices to categorize hydrogen shows by strength, and grouping the hydrogen gas concentration indices by geographical location to identify potential sources of hydrogen gas for extraction operations.
