Three (3) orders of magnitude (1000 X) better sensitivity for hydrocarbon gases. Traditional NDIR OPGD (open path gas detection) limits of detection are 0.5 LEL meter. That’s 25,000 ppm.meter for the first notification of the presence of a methane gas leak. The explosion level of methane is 50,000 ppm. The new generation of laser-based OPGD systems detect a Minimum Reliably Detectable Quantity of about 2 ppm path average concentration! With early warning of increasing gas concentrations, you gain more time to initiate remedial action for avoiding - or virtually eliminating - the possibility that combustible gas leak levels ever reach explosive thresholds. It is now possible to monitor and track atmospheric levels of gas and watch the progress of a gas leak as it occurs. Awareness of target gas concentrations at low levels can add literally hours of time to either determine the source of the leak, or shut down a hot spot where a gas cloud is forming to prevent an accident.
Within the thirty years of activity, Sevmorneftegeofizika had been focusing on the geological structure and appraisal of the prospects of oil and gas potential of West Arctic shelf.
In spite of high competition in the sector and the ongoing economic crisis, SMNG has managed to achieve considerable results in conducting geological and geophysical research on the continental shelf of the Russian Federation. Konstantin Dolgunov, General Director of JSC SMNG, shares his company’s achievements.
Несмотря на высокую конкуренцию в отрасли и продолжающийся экономический кризис, компании СМНГ удалось добиться значительных успехов в проведении геолого-геофизических исследований на российском шельфе. Генеральный директор ОАО “СМНГ” Константин Долгунов делится достижениями своей компании в отрасли.
