Session Chair: Adam Derry, 360 Environment and Engineering; Richard Wong, Cenovus Energy

The topic of discussion relates to a deep dive for reasons why a large number of wells where gas carbon isotope interprets shallow sources, but actual remediation operations to stop surface casing vent flow (SCVF) and/or gas migration (GM) shows impact or terminates the gas at a deeper source.
