Fracking can cause nearby abandoned wells leak methane: Study

Reuters: Hydraulic fracturing can cause nearby abandoned oil wells to leak methane, according to a study published on Tuesday in the peer-reviewed Water Resources Research journal, marking a potentially large source of unrecorded greenhouse gas emissions. Researchers at the University of Vermont examined a part of New York state overlying the Marcellus shale gas reservoir to determine the chances that a newly fracked well there would intersect one of the state's thousands of existing wellbores. "Average...

Water Online: Natural gas companies, which require massive amounts of water for fracking, are trying to make friends in the water sector. These alliances may hold benefits for water customers. "Some gas companies working in the Marcellus and Utica shales are paying to extend public water lines into rural areas to provide the millions of gallons needed for hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, of their wells, and in some cases building treatment plants as well,' the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported.

Dirty pipeline: Methane from fracking sites can flow to abandoned wells, new study shows
2015-10-20 21:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: As debate roils over EPA regulations proposed this month limiting the release of the potent greenhouse gas methane during fracking operations, a new University of Vermont study funded by the National Science Foundation shows that abandoned oil and gas wells near fracking sites can be conduits for methane escape not currently being measured. The study, to be published in Water Resources Research on October 20, demonstrates that fractures in surrounding rock produced by the hydraulic fracturing process...
Halliburton cuts more jobs as fracking hit worst in oil downturn
2015-10-19 23:55:27| Energy - Topix.net
Halliburton cut another 2,000 jobs in the past month as the worst oil market slump in decades saps demand for work at the world's largest provider of fracking services. The Houston-based company said the first quarter of next year may represent the lowest point for its North American profit margin as customers start fresh with new spending budgets for 2016 and tap Halliburton's pressure-pumping expertise to start new wells.
