to provide reliable molecular fingerprints for biodegraded crude oils and contaminated sediment cores and to facilitate correlation studies The aim is to demonstrate the potential of hydropyrolysis (pyrolysis assisted by high hydrogen gas pressure) as a novel means to provide reliable molecular fingerprints for biodegraded oils and contaminated cores where conventional biomarker approaches fail. This will then facilitate accurate and rapid oil-source and oil-oil correlations to be determined for the first time in these situations. New experimental protocols for conducting hydropyrolysis on asphaltenes will be developed. The study will establish a firm base to exploit the commercial potential of hydropyrolysis, both in oil exploration and for characterising sedimentary organic matter as a far superior technique to pyrolysis-GC-MS through a larger industrial partner.

Surface sediment geochemistry data comprised of:1) trace metals; 2) Pb isotope ratios; 3) organic pollutants (pharmaceuticals, hydrocarbons and organochlorines and microtox bioassay). Sediments were collected from sites situated along Nairobi, Mathare and Ngong Rivers, Nairobi, Kenya on January 16th, 2020. This data is published in the following research paper which should be cited; Vane, C.H., Kim, A.W., Lopes dos Santos, R.A., Gill, J.C., Moss-Hayes, V., Mulu, J.K., Mackie, J.R., Ferreira, A.M.P.J., Chenery, S.R. and Olaka, L.A., 2022.

The aim is to realise the potential of hydropyrolysis (pyrolysis assisted by high hydrogen gas pressures) as a means to provide reliable molecular fingerprints for severely biodegraded oils, contaminated cores, oil-field solids (tar mats and pyrobitumens) and to provide novel information on basin-filling history where the conventional free-biomarker approach fails. This will then facilitate rapid and accurate oil-source and oil-oil correlations to be determined for the first time in ocean-margin regions. The study will establish a firm base to exploit the commercial potential of hydropyrolysis, both in terms of oil exploration through the new correlations with bound biomarker profiles and of characteristic sedimentary organic matter as a far superior technique to py-GC-MS. Indeed, innovative experimental protocols for conducting hydropyrolysis will continue to be developed to have a prototype system ready for future exploitation.

This data includes all of the information provided to the BGS (British Geological Survey) through the National Hydrocarbon Data Archive for the Hutton Field. It includes: Production data and a 3D seismic survey in addition to borehole records from 65 wells across the Hutton Field.

The Index to the Primary Geological Data resulting from Open Cast Coal exploration. The index lists the content of the boxes of data, including reports, interpretations and records of research in British coalfield areas. The Index lists information on past and current workings and for future prospects. The majority of the collection was deposited with the National Geological Records Centre by the Coal Authority in July 2001, but a small number of BGS records have been added subsequently.

Prime Geological Data resulting from deep underground coal exploration and exploitation produced by the British Coal Board and/or its precursors. The collection dates back to the 18th century and covers all the British coal mining areas and includes borehole site plans, borehole logs, analyses and geophysical data etc. Apart from primary data relating to past and current collieries and for future prospects the information includes reports, interpretations and records of research. The majority of the collection was deposited with the National Geological Records Centre by the Coal Authority in July 2001.

On December 1, 1965, an underground blowout during an exploratory drill with a catastrophic outcome occurred near Sleen, The Netherlands. During approximately 2.5 months, near-continuous leakage of large amounts of natural gas was released into the subsurface. After the blowout, the local drinking water production company installed a network of groundwater monitoring wells to monitor for possible adverse effects on groundwater quality at the blowout site. Today, more than 50 years after the blowout, the groundwater is still impaired. Data has been correlated with previously published data by Schout et al. (2018) covering description of geology and well depths. During October 2019 we sampled from 12 groundwater wells covering: - Inorganic parameters (hydrocarbons, anions, cations, DOC, alkalinity, nitrate and ammonium) - DNA (quantification of total bacteria by qPCR 16S, aerobic methane oxidation by qPCR pmoA, and anaerobic methane oxidation by qPCR mcrA) The dataset was created within SECURe project (Subsurface Evaluation of CCS and Unconventional Risks) - https://www.securegeoenergy.eu/. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 764531
