Statement

Rock samples consisting of two 50mm quarter sections of core were obtained approximately every 10m depth during drilling of the GGC01 borehole. Two sample storage methods was used to collect samples; with a core sample from each depth being stored in de-ionised water, and the other being stored in nitrogen gas. All samples were then stored at standard temperature (25 C) and pressure (1atm) for a three-month period, to allow the samples to equilibrate with the headspace prior to gas analysis at the Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre (SUERC). Gas analyses consisted of establishing methane and CO2 concentrations through gas chromatography (full method attached), with select gas samples being analysed for their stable isotope signature (methane combustion line method attached).
