Separation column inspection using off axis gamma scanning
12416588 · 2025-09-16 · ·

A method of inspecting a separation vessel may utilize off axis gamma scanning. During scanning, a gamma radiation source can emit gamma radiation through a separation vessel toward a detector, and the detector can detect radiation emitted by the gamma radiation source and passing through the separation vessel. The gamma radiation source may be positioned at a first vertical elevation along the separation vessel and the detector positioned at a second vertical elevation along the separation vessel different than the first vertical elevation. As a result, a radiation path may be defined between the gamma radiation source and the detector that transects the separation vessel at a non-zero degree angle with respect to a horizontal plane.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EVALUATING HYDROGEN GENERATION POTENTIAL FROM ROCKS FOR NATURAL HYDROGEN EXPLORATION

The mineralogical, chemical, magnetic, and physical properties of a rock can be used to determine the amount of hydrogen that was generated during rock alteration and the remaining amount of hydrogen generation potential. The methodologies evaluate the hydrogen generation potential of geological samples and identify natural hydrogen source rocks. The mineralogy, elemental composition, iron content and oxidation state, and other properties of a geological sample may be determined. From the determined mineralogy and other properties of the geological sample, the amount of hydrogen which the geological sample may have generated may be quantified. This method can determine the maturity of hydrogen source rocks, the potential volume of hydrogen that can be generated in other parts of a given geologic province with higher degrees of hydrogen source rock maturity, and quantify the potential remaining volume of hydrogen that can be still be generated via secondary enhanced hydrogen stimulation processes.
