Statement

Cutting samples were obtained approximately every 3m depth during drilling of the GGA05 and GGA08 boreholes. The samples were collected in gas tight isojars and filled with de-ionised water, and stored at standard temperature (25 C) and pressure (1atm) for a three-month period. This allowed 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).
