Soil Gas Sampling for Carbon Capture
At Edg, we've transformed environmental monitoring for carbon sequestration. Our automated soil gas sampling stations obtain baseline measurements for Class VI wells before injection. And after injection begins, our platform fulfills long-term requirements for your testing and monitoring plan, including scheduled daily measurements for CO2 in the soil, and verification against baseline data.
Trusted by Leading Organizations
Engineering Design Group (Edg) is at the forefront of environmental monitoring for Class VI injection wells, specializing in automated soil gas sampling stations for geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide.
Since 2020, our cutting-edge sampling stations have reshaped how the industry monitors soil gas by facilitating automated real-time measurements while eliminating human error and other inconsistencies that come from manual monitoring.
With our industrial-grade instrumentation and secure cloud platform, we are committed to enhancing the effectiveness of the measuring, monitoring, and verification plan for your injection well. This is accomplished by installing a minimum of ten base stations around a single injection well.
Each base station operates independently of the others, waking several times per day on a programmed schedule to sample soil gas contents and environmental conditions at its location. Collected data from all base stations is transmitted to the EDG Client Portal with cellular technology, where it can be viewed, collated, and compared against pre-injection baseline measurements.
As EDG continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in remote monitoring, we do so with a clear focus: to equip you with not just data, but the means to use it effectively.
The First to Automate Soil Gas Sampling in Carbon Capture
“EDG’s platform recorded more than what is possible with handheld gas meters, especially considering Wyoming’s harsh climate. Our research wouldn’t have been the same without this level of automation.”

Research Scientist, University of Wyoming’s School of Energy Resources
Features
Soil Gas Monitoring for the Long Haul
Edg is committed to delivering secure, scalable, and robust solutions that balance long-term reliability with cost-efficiency. Our platform will always be easy to use, and our API makes it adaptable to your specific needs.
Lifetime Security Updates
Over-the-air (OTA) security updates are deployed to our equipment automatically with no service interruptions. No user intervention is necessary.
Scalable
No matter how many base stations or injection wells are in your account, data from all systems is centrally managed through our Client Portal dashboard
Robust
Our hardware is designed for reliability, currently showing zero downtime in over one-quarter of a million operational hours in the harshest environments throughout all seasons.
Historical Data Retention
Your raw sensor data is always accessible, whether you want to view it in our Client Portal dashboard, or access it with an external application via our API.
Features
Automated Monitoring & Verification
From automated data collection to real-time reporting and analysis, we provide a complete end-to-end platform, integrating cutting-edge hardware and software for effective environmental and soil gas monitoring at your injection wells.
Hardware
Our instrumentation is low-impact, fully contained, and equipped to measure soil gas samples on a pre-programmed daily schedule.
Installed base stations surrounding an injection well stay in a low power "sleep" mode between each programmed sampling interval. At each sampling interval, the instrumentation wakes, and samples the soil gas.
Modern LTE Cat M1 (LTE-M) connectivity is used by each base station to transmit data to the Client Portal cloud application, using the best network available around the injection well. Multiple Tier 1 networks are supported, allowing for installations globally.
After a base station completes data transmission, it will return to sleep, while a solar panel will resume charging an internal smart battery pack.
EDG is committed to your injection well’s longevity. We supply lifetime over-the-air (OTA) updates to our instrumentation, keeping each base station ahead in security and performance without any service interruptions or downtime in soil sampling.
Client Portal Dashboard
The EDG Client Portal cloud application simplifies monitoring and verification of your soil gas and environmental data, and is designed for seamless collaboration with your team and partners.
Through the Portal, you can view plots of data with respect to time, download ranges of data to a CSV file, and manage activity for groups of soil sampling stations.
Historical data from each of your base stations is retained in the cloud, raw and unmodified, just as it was sampled by the instrumentation.
Our platform allows for easy and centralized project management, regardless of the number of base stations or injection wells being monitored. And you can invite team members and partners, and make your data available to them while restricting them from important controls, such as changing sampling schedules or notification triggers.
Included with our Client Portal is complete access to our API, which facilitates importing your data into applications of your own. Alternatively, use the API to ingest data from external systems so you can store and analyze it alongside your soil gas samples.
Environmental Monitoring, Conveniently From Your Desktop
EDG’s solution blends rugged hardware with a powerful cloud platform and a robust API.
UW Partners with EDG in a Milestone Carbon Capture Initiative
In 2020, the University of Wyoming’s (UW) School of Energy Resources turned to Edg to help them solve a critical problem. They needed to monitor soil gas levels at a future carbon capture storage site, but it wouldn’t be practical to manually travel to each site to take manual measurements, especially over Wyoming’s harsh winters. Learn how EDG’s soil sampling stations helped UW transform their monitoring capabilities and achieve greater efficiency and reliability.
