Atmospheric emission characterization of Marcellus shale natural gas development sites.
Limited direct measurements of criteria pollutants emissions and precursors, as well as natural gas constituents, from Marcellus shale gas development activities contribute to uncertainty about their atmospheric impact. Real-time measurements were made with the Aerodyne Research Inc. Mobile Laboratory to characterize emission rates of atmospheric pollutants. Sites investigated include productio...
متن کاملSecondary Minerals and Constituents of the Marcellus Shale Formation
This work identifies unknown crystals found encrusting the Marcellus Shale Formation at the Mapleton Quarry locality in Central Pennsylvania, over the course of a month. The outcrop has been exposed for sufficient time for there to be advanced chemical weathering, allowing for the presence of secondary minerals to form and changes in the composition of the surrounding water table and environmen...
متن کاملGeochemical and strontium isotope characterization of produced waters from Marcellus Shale natural gas extraction.
Extraction of natural gas by hydraulic fracturing of the Middle Devonian Marcellus Shale, a major gas-bearing unit in the Appalachian Basin, results in significant quantities of produced water containing high total dissolved solids (TDS). We carried out a strontium (Sr) isotope investigation to determine the utility of Sr isotopes in identifying and quantifying the interaction of Marcellus Form...
متن کاملLife cycle greenhouse gas emissions of Marcellus shale gas
This study estimates the life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the production of Marcellus shale natural gas and compares its emissions with national average US natural gas emissions produced in the year 2008, prior to any significant Marcellus shale development. We estimate that the development and completion of a typical Marcellus shale well results in roughly 5500 t of carbon dioxid...
متن کاملIsotope approach to assess hydrologic connections during Marcellus Shale drilling.
Water and gas samples were collected from (1) nine shallow groundwater aquifers overlying Marcellus Shale in north-central West Virginia before active shale gas drilling, (2) wells producing gas from Upper Devonian sands and Middle Devonian Marcellus Shale in southwestern Pennsylvania, (3) coal-mine water discharges in southwestern Pennsylvania, and (4) streams in southwestern Pennsylvania and ...
