Diluted oil sands crude no more likely to leak from pipeline than other oil, study finds

Washington Post: The diluted form of heavy crude from Canadian oil sands fields is no more likely to leak from a pipeline than other forms of oil, an arm of the National Academy of Sciences reported Tuesday. The finding, after an extensive study by the National Research Council, refutes a claim by opponents of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline extension, who contend that the "diluted bitumen' it would carry is more corrosive than other forms of crude and thus more likely to leak. The TransCanada pipeline...

Keystone Aided as Bitumen Study Finds No Greater Spill Risks
2013-06-25 15:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: Heavy crude oil to be carried by the proposed Keystone XL pipeline poses no greater risk of a spill than other types of oil, the National Research Council said in a report. The report disputes arguments made by Keystone opponents that diluted bitumen, a tar-like substance mined in Albertas oil sands, is more corrosive than conventional crude oil and is more likely to create ruptures and oil spills in pipelines. There have been several studies to look at this over the years, but none that...

Duke Study Finds Higher Gas Levels in Drinking Water Wells Near Marcellus Fracking Sites

EcoWatch: Some homeowners living near shale gas wells appear to be at higher risk of drinking water contamination from stray gases, according to a new Duke University-led study, Increased Stray Gas Abundance in a Subset of Drinking Water Wells Near Marcellus Shale Gas Extraction. A Dimock, Pa., resident who did not want to be identified pours a glass of water taken from his well after the start of natural gas drilling in 2009. Photo credit: Reuters. The scientists analyzed 141 drinking water samples...
