Underground Aquifer Injection Monitoring by Blockchain Technology

Water contamination is a primary concern in a region where water and petroleum play such vital roles in the economy, and where both industry and regulatory agencies pay close attention to environmental quality. In this research, we built a Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) based prototype using R3 Corda. Its purpose applies in the oil & gas underground injection control (UIC) operations for the underground aquifer protection.
