The Wall Street Journal released this article last week. It takes a look at several of the major issues currently facing the natural gas industry and works to separate fact from fiction. I'm curious to know what you guys think of its results.

Seems like "Yes We Can" has become "Why We Can't"...
Maybe articles like this one can help get us back on track...huh?
Like most things associated with the Shale Gas, little evidence and lots of opinions go a look way. Reminds me of the smoking industry - how many people have their water wells tested for all sorts of things before drilling is done.
Here in California we get the same screams - but here we have faults deep enough so that oil and gas come to the surface in many places and we have effects coming from secondary/enhanced recovery. We have had uplifts and subsidences of a few to 10s ft.
By the way, I did a study three decades ago that suggested that the losses of swamps and wetlands along the LA coast may reflect production of large oil, gas, and water from the onshore, near, and off shore developments.
So yeah given the injection of water at 10,000psi so effects may occur along fractures and faults
What is the big deal about saying what is in the 0.5-1.0% of the fracking liquids (including benzene, remember that Perrier bottled water starts with spring water contaminated by benzene but is treated before putting in the bottle).
The History of GoHaynesvilleShale.com
GoHaynesvilleShale.com (GHS) was launched in 2008 during a pivotal moment in the energy industry, when the Haynesville Shale formation—a massive natural gas reserve lying beneath parts of northwest Louisiana, east Texas, and southwest Arkansas—was beginning to attract national attention. The website was the brainchild of Keith Mauck, a landowner and entrepreneur who recognized a pressing need: landowners in the region had little access to…

AboutAs exciting as this is, we know that we have a responsibility to do this thing correctly. After all, we want the farm to remain a place where the family can gather for another 80 years and beyond. This site was born out of these desires. Before we started this site, googling "shale' brought up little information. Certainly nothing that was useful as we negotiated a lease. Read More |
