Journal ArticleDOI

Methane contamination of drinking water accompanying gas-well drilling and hydraulic fracturing

Stephen G. Osborn, +3 more
- 17 May 2011 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that greater stewardship, data, and—possibly—regulation are needed to ensure the sustainable future of shale-gas extraction and to improve public confidence in its use.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Critical Review of the Risks to Water Resources from Unconventional Shale Gas Development and Hydraulic Fracturing in the United States

Avner Vengosh, +5 more
- 07 Mar 2014 - 
TL;DR: Analysis of published data reveals evidence for stray gas contamination, surface water impacts in areas of intensive shale gas development, and the accumulation of radium isotopes in some disposal and spill sites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased stray gas abundance in a subset of drinking water wells near Marcellus shale gas extraction

Robert B. Jackson, +8 more
- 09 Jul 2013 - 
TL;DR: Overall, the data suggest that some homeowners living <1 km from gas wells have drinking water contaminated with stray gases, and distances to gas wells was the most significant factor for Pearson and Spearman correlation analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impacts of shale gas wastewater disposal on water quality in western Pennsylvania.

Nathaniel R. Warner, +3 more
- 02 Oct 2013 - 
TL;DR: Elevated levels of chloride and bromide, combined with the strontium, radium, oxygen, and hydrogen isotopic compositions of the effluents reflect the composition of Marcellus Shale produced waters, posing potential environmental risks of radium bioaccumulation in localized areas of shale gas wastewater disposal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geochemical evidence for possible natural migration of Marcellus Formation brine to shallow aquifers in Pennsylvania

Nathaniel R. Warner, +7 more
- 24 Jul 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present geochemical evidence from northeastern Pennsylvania showing that pathways, unrelated to recent drilling activities, exist in some locations between deep underlying formations and shallow drinking water aquifers.
