Baseline data before the heating

We started on the sampling of the gas wells to get the baseline data before the heating is started. We are collecting information on the carbon dioxide concentrations and soil moisture content of the field. We will do this for the next 5 weeks to get a strong baseline and then we will turn the heaters on.
