Survey of helium in natural water wells and springs in southwest Montana
and Imperial Valley, California
Part VI - January 1 - December 31, 1983
This report is of a continuing project begun in 1977 to evaluate a method
to predict earthquakes. It involves a comparison of significant changes in
helium found in natural water wells and springs with recorded earthquakes in
the immediate vicinity of the wells or springs. A positive correlation was
reported in the research done by Bulasevich and Bashorin (1974). Work in
previous years on this project is reported by Doering and others (Doering and
Friedman, 1980a, 1980b, 1982, 1983, and Doering and others, 1981).
We received water samples from eight wells and four springs situated
northwest of Yellowstone National Park and from four wells in the Imperial
Valley of southern California. These sixteen stations located in the Hebgen
Lake area of Montana and southern terminus of the San Andreas fault zone of
California were chosen because the water contains measurable amounts of helium
and they are in active seismic regions. We received samples from all but
three of these stations during all of the year 1983. Table 1 gives a short
description of these stations and Figures 1 and 2 shows their approximate
location on maps.
The sample collectors withdraw about 9 milliliters of well or spring
water into a plastic syringe and then injected it into a partially evacuated
collection tube. A sample is usually taken once a day. When five tubes are
thus filled they are mailed to the Geological Survey laboratory at the Denver
Federal Center. The gas in the ullage space above the water in the sample
tube is extracted and analyzed for helium on a mass spectrometer. The method
is described in Doering and others, 1981.
![Page 3: Survey of helium in natural water wells and springs in ... · PDF fileThe gas in the ullage space above the water in the sample ... Geological Survey Open-File Report 81-893, 58 p](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a753c7b7f8b9a93088c3c57/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The analytical precision is ±5%. An additional ±15% estimated error is
due to station variations such as water temperature, amount of water
collected, the rate at which water is collected and daily time of sample
collection. At the well stations the helium concentrations may be affected by
the quantity of water being pumped just before the sample was taken. The
daily record of the amount of helium present at each station is shown on
Figures 3 through 19. Four scales are used on the graphs because there are
large helium concentration differences between stations. There are a total of
8,340 individual analysis reported. Numerical (Julian) dates are given on
these graphs but they may be converted to normally used calendar dates by use
of Figure 20.
The National Earthquake Information Service located at Golden, Colorado
reported six earthquakes having a magnitude greater than 3.5 that occurred in
the areas shown in figures 1 and 2 during 1983. Table 2 lists the date,
epicenter location and magnitude of the two earthquakes that occurred in the
Imperial Valley and four earthquakes close to the Montana sampling network.
These quakes are indicated by tick marks and labeled "EQ" on the dates of
occurrence on the graphs of Figures 3 through 19.
Table 3 presents a summary of the helium data as related to changes in
helium and earthquakes. These changes are listed by station number and Julian
date. A + indicates there was a significant increase and a - indicates a
significant decrease in helium beginning with the date shown and continuing
for over 5 days. A significant change is defined as a helium variation
exceeding 20% of the average amount present that continues for at least 5
days. The dates of earthquakes are shown in column three. Column four shows
the relationship of helium changes to earthquakes. A + indicates there was a
change in helium preceeding or about the same time as the occurrence of an

earthquake. A - indicates there was a change in helium but no earthquake the
preceeding 30 days. At station 316 there was a sudden decrease in helium on
day 146 (May 26) and a gradual increase beginning about day 314 (Nov. 10).
This has occurred every year since 1980 when collecting was begun. These
changes coincide with irrigation in the nearby fields.
