materials issues in shale gas

Hi

I was wondering if there were some materials issues in shale gas production or/and transportation (for ex corrosion) ?

Lots of water is used (mixed with chemicals), the temperature of the shale gas might be in the range of 86-140F (good for bacteria)  so the extracted gas might not be so dry and may as well carry some impurities. 

Does the extracted gas need to go through cleaning processes (in order to meet pipeline transportation specifications)?

 

Thanks for your input.

Marc, gas produced from the Haynesville/Bossier Shale is treated for removal of CO2 & H2S (when necessary) and dehydrated for water vapor removal.  Typical gas sales pipeline specifications include the following limits:

 

2-3% CO2

4 ppm H2S

7 lb/MMcf water vapor

120 F temperature

 

Shale gas production is not significantly different than many other formations.

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of)  nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
