Key properties of methane hydrates found in permafrost and on continental shelf illuminated

PhysOrg: Methane hydrates are a kind of ice that contains methane, and that form at certain depths under the sea or buried in permafrost. They can also form in pipelines that transport oil and gas, leading to clogging. Yet methane hydrates are nearly impossible to study because it is very hard to get samples, and the samples themselves are highly unstable in the laboratory. A team of scientists from Norway, China and the Netherlands has now shown how the size of grains of the molecules that make up the...

Dirty Pipeline: Methane From Fracking Sites Can Flow To Abandoned Wells, UVM Study Shows
2015-10-28 02:53:10| oilandgasonline Home Page
As debate roils over EPA regulations proposed this month limiting the release of the potent greenhouse gas methane during fracking operations, a new University of Vermont study funded by the National Science Foundation shows that abandoned oil and gas wells near fracking sites can be conduits for methane escape not currently being measured.
B&W Calls On U.S. EPA To Limit Methane Emissions From Landfills

Fracking can cause nearby abandoned wells leak methane: Study
2015-10-21 15:10:46| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Hydraulic fracturing can cause nearby abandoned oil wells to leak methane, according to a study published on Tuesday in the peer-reviewed Water Resources Research journal, marking a potentially large source of unrecorded greenhouse gas emissions. Researchers at the University of Vermont examined a part of New York state overlying the Marcellus shale gas reservoir to determine the chances that a newly fracked well there would intersect one of the state's thousands of existing wellbores. "Average...
