Shale Oil - The Rush for Black Gold - 11.20.2011


One of America's biggest energy challenges is foreign oil dependency. The US imports about half the oil it uses, putting the nation's energy security at risk and costing hundreds of billions of dollars per year. New drilling innovations are unlocking vast new reserves and boosting local economies. But is the new drilling also forcing a tough choice between oil and water in drought-stricken Texas? This week, energyNOW! explores the latest US oil boom. Black Gold From Shale Rock The combination of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing in shale rock formations is opening up previously unrecoverable oil, just as those technologies did for natural gas. It's driving a boom in US energy production and creating bright spots in a tough economy across America. Correspondent Patty Kim visits Williston, North Dakota, the site of America's largest shale oil field and heart of the new oil rush, to check out life in an oil boom town. Is The Oil Boom Worsening The Texas Drought? Texas is home to America's second largest shale oil field, and business is booming - production has skyrocketed from under 1000 barrels a day in 2004 to more than 8 million so far in 2011. But hydraulic fracturing in shale rock requires millions of gallons of water, a precious resource during one of the worst droughts in the state's history. Anchor Thalia Assuras visits the Eagle Ford shale in Texas to see how rapidly expanding water use by energy companies is impacting the state. Interview: EPA <b>...</b>

Marcellus Shale Reality Tour Part 1


A video by Scott Cannon gdacoalition.org On July 31st, 2011, a group of Democrat and Republican community leaders boarded a bus to travel an hour north to see, hear, and feel the negative effects of gas drilling. This is the tour the gas companies don't want you to see. Sure, there are a few millionaires made from gas drilling, but for every millionaire, there are countless other who are lied to, have their rights stripped away, and are inconvenienced beyond reason, all for the sake of a "bridge" fossil fuel that will eventually run out. We encourage everyone to take a trip through gasland. Talk to people, notice the traffic, look at the once beautiful landscape, and ask yourself, "Is this what I want? Is this what I want for my children and grandchildren?"

euronews U talk - Shale gas: fracking the Earth?


www.euronews.com Georgi, from Bulgaria, asks: Taking into account that in France, Ireland and Bulgaria the extraction of shale gas has been prohibited and in England and Germany there are earthquake and pollution problems after shale gas drilling, what is the European institutional position about this? Françoise Elbaz-Poulichet, a CNRS researcher, responds: What is shale gas? It is natural gas which is trapped in deep geological formations, quite spread out. Therefore, it seems that some European countries could have quite a lot of gas, especially France and Poland." The near-term interest is that we know how to get at it, and some countries consider their energy independence important, for instance from Russia in the case of Poland. From an environmental point of view, in my opinion, and especially when it's about water resources, there are risks. At least there are if we look at the Americans' experience. This is fossil fuel, so it's an energy source that generates CO2, which will contribute to warming of the climate, contrary to renewable energies. This is methane gas, and methane has a much more powerful effect as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. The bit worry is leakage at the beginning of exploitation, and when the wells are dismantled. There are also accident risks, that are qualified as probable. We know they're going to happen, it's statistical: with a certain number of wells there has to be an accident. We don't know where it'll happen, or when. Afterwards <b>...</b>

An investigation by the Department of Environmental Protection determined that the gas migrated from at least one of three Marcellus Shale wells on the Stalter well pad about a half-mile west of Interstate 81 in Susquehanna County. Read the notice of violation HERE The gas was found seeping into three water supplies in August. A fourth water well for a hunting cabin is still being evaluated, DEP spokesman Daniel Spadoni said. Video from inside one of Cabot's gas wells showed that a string of steel casing meant to seal off the aquifer from contaminants was improperly constructed, according to a notice of violation sent by DEP in September. Methane was also found between the cemented strings of casing in all three gas wells on the Stalter pad, a sign state regulators view as evidence of flaws in a well's construction. The dissolved methane in one nearby water supply jumped from 0.3 milligrams per liter before drilling began to 49 milligrams per liter on Aug. 16 and 57 milligrams per liter on Aug. 18, according to the violation notice.

SHALE GAS - A controversial fuel


Shale is a sedimentary rock, derived from clay, the most common on Earth, some forms of which contain methane gas.Huge shale deposits can be found across the world, and reserves are estimated at 448000 billion cubic metres, the equivalent of 140 years of gas consumption at current levels. Half of the deposits are to be found in Asia and North America. But harnessing the gas is technically complex because unlike pockets of natural gas, it is impossible to pump directly as it is embedded in the rock.But it can be extracted using a process known as hydrofracturing or "hydrofracking".

Marcellus Shale Reality Tour Part 5 Erupting Water Well


A video by Scott Cannon gdacoalition.org State regulators are investigating the cause of high methane levels in three Susquehanna County water wells after residents reported gray or black sludgy water, and one home's well began to erupt water through its cap. The Department of Environmental Protection has not yet determined if natural sources, nearby natural gas drilling operations or some other cause has mobilized methane and metals into drinking water supplies. Inspectors were in the township hamlet of Franklin Forks on Wednesday to take a second round of samples from water wells. DEP officials originally indicated to residents in January that the likely source of the gas was a natural methane seep documented for over a century in nearby Salt Springs State Park. But the chemical markers of the Salt Springs methane have been well characterized by scientists and the department is just now in the process of determining the signature of the gas found in the water wells to compare to the seep. Analyzing the stable carbon isotopes - a form of chemical fingerprinting of the gas - "could prove fruitful" in this case because Salt Springs is so well documented, DEP spokeswoman Colleen Connolly said. The department also is considering the potential impact of nearby Marcellus Shale drilling on the water supplies. "Everything is still part of the investigation," she said. "We're not ruling anything out." DEP cited WPX Energy for defective casing or cement in two of the natural gas <b>...</b>

Ex-oil worker blasts shale gas industry / Ex-oil worker's concerns


Maxime Daigle worked in the oil industry for seven years but is now protesting against further development of the shale gas sector See also "Say No to Shale Gas June 30, 2011, Rexton, New Brunswick, Part 2"- www.youtube.com www.cbc.ca Ex-oil worker blasts shale gas industry CBC News Posted: Dec 2, 2011 7:00 AM AT Last Updated: Dec 2, 2011 2:36 PM AT Maxime Daigle worked on oil and gas rigs for seven years before quitting to devote his life to protesting what he believes are the perils of shale gas drilling. Daigle spent his career in the oil and gas sector working in operations located in Alberta, British Columbia and across the United States. He started as a roughneck and worked his way up to drilling foreman. But he soon concluded the world's dependency on oil was killing the planet and he left the industry. "We all have our hands dirty on it. It's just an awakening I went through that made me realize what I was doing was wrong and that I needed to try and make a difference," he said. So Daigle moved back home to New Brunswick and went back to school to study electrical engineering with a focus on renewable energy. Daigle is one of the many citizens that are speaking out over fears about the shale gas industry. There are nine companies that currently have 71 different leases to explore for shale gas. While the industry is in its infancy, it has turned into a high-profile political issue for Premier David Alward's government. The Progressive Conservative government <b>...</b>

In Solidarity With Romania - Ban shale gas fracking


To join us in our fight to ban shale gas exploration and extraction in Romania: www.facebook.com On 11 February 2012 dozens of Bulgarian and Romanian activists along with members of Frack Off braved the cold weather and staged a spectacular demonstration near the Romanian embassy in Kensington, London. With chemical suits, chants and street performers we protested against the proposed use of controversial 'fracking' to extract shale gas in Romania. With the hydraulic fracturing method eleven to nineteen millions litres of fresh water mixed with sand and up to 900000 litres of over 600 chemicals, some of which highly toxic, are injected up to 4 miles in the ground to extract shale gas. The dangerous fluid then comes back to surface but nearly 30 to 40 percent of it stays underground permanently. And the "produced water" that comes back is put into ponds and left to evaporate in the air. As a result of this method, nature, groundwater wells and air are polluted and in some cases contaminated tap water can even be set aflame. People and animals living near shale gas wells risk to get permanently ill with neurological, respiratory diseases and even cancer. Currently Chevron has several licenses for shale exploration in Romania and plan to start drilling in the second half of this year. Besides Chevron, Hungary's MOL and Canada's East West Petroleum also have struck drilling agreements with Romania's Mineral Resources Agency and are awaiting government approval.

The technical documents discusses the very serious technical limitations and flaws of the fracking method. It shows why only a mere 20% of the gas can be extracted by this technique, and the serious consequences that this will imply, with the remaining 80% of methane that will slowly but continuously for years and centuries, flow from the fractured shale.

Deborah Rogers hydrofraking.mov


Financial analyst Deborah Rogers has served on the Advisory Council for the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas since 2008. She was appointed in 2011 by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to a task force reviewing placement of air monitors in the Barnett Shale region in light of air quality concerns brought about by the natural gas operations in North Texas. She joined a regional steering committee for the Oil and Gas Accountability Project (OGAP) in 2011 with responsibility for economic questions. Ms. Rogers got involved in natural gas when she learned that an energy company planned 12 high impact wells next to her property, Deborah's Farmstead, a nationally recognized artisanal cheese-making dairy. Her website, Energy Policy Forum (energypolicyforum.com discusses the complex problems inherent in shale gas. In September 2011, New York State issued a second draft generic environmental impact statement, as well as proposed regulations to guide hydro-fracking drilling in New York. The comment period is still open, so New Yorkers need to inform themselves on this issue and make their views and concerns known to the Department of Environmental Conservation.
