Downhole Geochemical Logging
Use AGI technology to directly characterize the composition of hydrocarbons vertically through various prospective sections by analyzing well cuttings. AGI’s Downhole Geochemical Logging (DGL) provides an ultrasensitive assessment of the hydrocarbons in a well. Download a comparison between DGL and Isotope data.

Economical Site Characterization Using High-Resolution Passive Soil Gas Sampling
Solid waste management units (SWMUs) at Arnold Air Force Base (Base), Tennessee, are undergoing a RCRA Facility Investigation (RFI) to evaluate the nature and extent of soil and groundwater impacted by releases of volatile organic compounds(VOCs) and mercury.

VOC Location Investigation
The intent of the investigation was to locate VOC sources impacting the groundwater in an 800-acre (3.2 km2) area. The investigation used broad-based, less expensive screening tools to zero in on potential source areas, followed by more sophisticated and expensive technologies to pinpoint vadose zone source locations. Results of the investigation led to the discovery of a previously unidentified oil/water separator that contained liquids and sludge with high concentrations of trichloroethene (TCE).

Quantitative Passive Soil Gas and Air Sampling in Vapor Intrusion Investigations
Vapor intrusion, the intrusion of volatile and semi-volatile compounds into structures potentially creating a health risk to occupants, has become a dominant environmental topic. Vapor sampling of soil gas and air provides a direct measurement of these compounds in order to evaluate health risks. Passive sampling of air and soil gas, which involves the deployment of an adsorbent that collects compounds in the vapor state over time, can provide soil gas, sub-slab soil gas and air data simply, effectively and accurately for volatile- and semi-volatile organic compounds, under a wide range of challenging site conditions.
