Natural Soils‐Based Oxidation Mitigates Methane Leakage From Integrity Compromised Legacy Wells

Abstract An increasing number of legacy petroleum wells are reported to suffer integrity failure, releasing methane (CH4) into the subsurface and atmosphere. Subsurface released methane is reactively transported toward ground surface with a portion converted to carbon dioxide by soil microbes. Curre...
