Dear Geothermal Community... Just a question have any of the conventional geothermal explorers/developers (i.e. hydrothermal) EGS and Lithium extraction groups thought about or measured the dissolved methane, hydrogen or helium in your hydrothermal brines?
I am aware of a lot of the DOE research into methane in geothermal wells particularly from the East Texas region. But I have not seen much in the way of hydrogen or helium discussed. Is this because I am looking in the wrong places? Or it is not generally data that is collected?

Dear Philip Ball
Please consult the article “Helium and methane measurements in hydrothermal fluids from the mid-Atlantic ridge: The Snake Pit site at 23°N” .
Dear Philip,
the paper of Sanjuan et al. 2016 provide some helium data from geothermal brines of the Upper Rhinegraben (contents between 0.01-1.79%). Also methan contents are included. Maybe this helps...
