This article sheds a light on the special geology and production requirements of coal bed methane (CBM). It describes some challenges of drilling and cementing in CBM plays, but unfortunately the authors waste no thought on risks of CBM production like groundwater contamination or massive methane leakage which further damages the climate. From the article …

From Mud to Cement – Building Gas Wells
From Mud to Cement – Building Gas Wells A Schlumberger Oilfield Review It is claimed, that “demand for natural gas increases”, and “wellbore construction across gas-bearing formations takes center stage. With few cost-effective remedial measures available, prevention of annular gas flow and sustained casing pressure is key to drilling and completing long-lasting gas wells.” Author(s): …

Flaring & venting in the oil & gas exploration & production industry
Executive summary: The option to release gas to the atmosphere by fl aring and venting is an essential practice in oil and gas production, primarily for safety reasons. Flaring is the controlled burning of natural gas produced in association with oil in the course of routine oil and gas production operations. Venting is the controlled …

About
frack-free.rocks is a project that collects information on technical, political, scientific, social, legal and environmental aspects related to the mining technique called hydraulic fracturing, also known as "fracking".
The status quo of and information about the countries affected by fracking - the state of play - is one focus of interest. Besides that, a growing body of key scientific publications, furthermore maps and the legal frameworks in the specific countries are presented here.
