Digital Technologies & Current Uses in Environmental Geology - A Marcellus Shale Example
The Marcellus Shale play has been of significant importance in the development of oil and gas resources and providing regulatory framework for natural resource protection. Pennsylvania has led in updating oil and gas regulations to manage these unconventional resources. The use of digital technologies now underlies effective collection, storage, analysis and reporting of data and information ...

An Alternative Method to RSK 175 using a Purge and Trap Concentrator and GC/FID
Abstract With the growing price of oil, many alternative energy sources are being explored. Natural gas prices are actually decreasing, in large part to the use of hydraulic fracturing in areas like the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania. Due to increased concern over the hydrofracturing process and the release of methane and other chemicals into the local drinking water, a need has developed for ...

Study Correlates Radon and Fracking
While some researchers implicate Marcellus Shale fracking for increased levels of radon in parts of Pennsylvania, others point to factors including soil moisture levels and improved home insulation. As researchers debate causes of increased radon level, residents must find ways to deal with it Radon is an odorless, tasteless, naturally occurring radioactive gas that forms from the decay of ...

LNG For Exploration & Production - Drilling Operations - Case Study
Use of gas in drilling actually began several years before (2010) use of gas in frac operations (2013). The scope of a rig retrofit with three (3) engines vs. 12-20 engines on a frac spread is one major reason why drilling innovated with natural gas before frac operations. At one time (mid-2014) there were over 100 drilling rigs employing natural gas either in a dual fuel configuration with ...

Guardian Double Containment at CAES Facility Case Study
Ajoint venture between ACI Energy, Inc., an investment holding company, and Altela, Inc., a water desalination company, Clarion Altela Environmental Services (CAES) opened in November 2012 to recycle frac water* from the Marcellus and Utica Shale Basins, which stretch across much of Pennsylvania and Ohio. The CAES facility treats the frac water and ultimately turns it into clean distilled water ...

Novel ion-exchange system softens produced water for steam generation
As California entered a period of severe drought in 2008, the challenges of using thermal methods to extract heavy oil became compounded by the difficulty of securing freshwater sources from which to generate the high-quality steam that these methods require. In an effort to manage the crisis, then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger proclaimed a state of emergency and enacted widespread ...

Silica Exposure to Workers in Oil and Gas Hydraulic Fracking
Exposure to High Levels of Crystalline Silica Silica exposure to workers is nothing new. Also hydraulic fracturing or “fracking” is nothing new either. What’s new is the number of workers exposed to high levels of crystalline silica as the oil and gas “fracking” industry has gone into high gear. The use of a large volume of sand as a proppant—to “prop ...

Interview with Ronald Ebelhar, 2015 Chairman of the ASTM Board
Ron Ebelhar has provided leadership in civil engineering projects and ASTM technical committee work since the 1970s. This year, he brings his experience to his elected position as chairman of the ASTM board of directors. You have worked on dozens of engineering projects since getting your degrees in civil engineering. What are some of the most interesting and challenging jobs you have been ...

Ethylene Production – A Tale of Explosive Growth and Air Quality Compliance
ALL4’s Oil and Gas Sector Initiative was conceived in response to the renewal of the domestic oil and gas industry, associated primarily with the use of hydraulic fracturing (or fracking) and horizontal drilling in shale formations (e.g., Marcellus, Haynesville, Bakken, Eagle Ford) and the impact of greatly expanded oil and gas production on gathering/midstream operations, gas ...
