This report describes soil gas monitoring carried out in autumn 2003 in and around the Phase A1 injection area of the Weyburn Oilfield. The work forms Task 2.8 of the Weyburn CO2 project and entailed additional soil gas studies funded through the Petroleum Technology Research Centre. It extends the main soil gas studies at Weyburn undertaken with European Commission funding under the EU 5th Framework Programme. The investigations were carried out by the British Geological Survey (D G Jones, M H Strutt), the University of Rome La Sapienza (S Beaubien, S Lombardi) and Instituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (C Cardellini, F Quattrochi) from Italy, and the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (J-C Baubron) from France with assistance from J D Mollard and Associates (L Penner) from Canada.
