Concurrence of aqueous and gas phase contamination of groundwater in the Wattenberg oil and gas field of northern Colorado Li H, Son JH, Carlson KH. Abstract The potential impact of rapid development of unconventional oil and natural gas resources using hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling on regional groundwater quality has received significant attention. Major concerns …

Water Resources and Shale Gas/Oil Production in the Appalachian Basin – Critical Issues and Evolving Developments
This USGS-report depicts some of the critical issues that accompany shale oil and gas operations in the Appalachian region, e. g. the tremendous freshwater consumption: Only 10% of all HVHF water used is recovered from the drilled and fractured formation in northeastern Pennsylvania. Bibliography: William M. Kappel, John H. Williams, and Zoltan Szabo Water Resources …

Determining the origin of methane and its effect on the aquifer in Dimock Gesford 2 well
These slides make the link between hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) for shale gas in Dimock, PA, and groundwater contamination. “Methane is released during the drilling and perhaps during the fracking process and other gas well work.” Bibliography: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Isotech-Stable isotope analysis: Determining the origin of methane and its effect on the aquifer in Cabot Oil and Gas’ Dimock Gesford 2 well EPA, …

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.
