A study of natural gas extraction in Marcellus shale
… are found in shales across the country; the Marcellus shale is one of these sources. The Marcellus shale is the largest natural gas source in the United States and is quickly becoming a major gas play. Estimates show that there are trillions of cubic feet of natural gas stored within the …

Housing-Related Migration in the Marcellus Shale Region of Pennsylvania
… and environmental changes to localities in the Marcellus Shale region in Pennsylvania. In some rural counties, the sudden influx of activity associated with gas extraction created boomtowns, whereas urban areas saw an economic revival after years of stagnation that followed the collapse of the …

Autopoietic landscapes : the architectural implications of mining the Marcellus Shale
Hydraulic fracturing, a form of natural gas extraction, is a process deeply embedded in the networks of politics, power, economics, energy, infrastructure, and land use. Hydraulic fracturing has become a standard practice by energy companies looking to capitalize of dwindling resources. This …

Simulation of Multi-Component Gas Flow and Condensation in Marcellus Shale Reservoir
The Marcellus shale formation, with more than 463 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of recoverable gas in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, will play a critical role in providing clean energy, environmental sustainability, and increased security for our nation. However, due to recent low gas prices, most of …

Integration of Nano CT and SEM in the Characterization of Marcellus Shale
… this study is to understand and characterise the Marcellus shale with the view of enhancing our knowledge of the geometry and topology of the tight shale rock. This study presents a simplified workflow in the study of the heterogeneity of shale rock sample by the combination of Nano CT imaging and …

Extracting the economic benefits of natural resources in the Marcellus Shale Region
… from natural resources using the case of the Marcellus Shale in West Virginia and Pennsylvania as an exemplar. I examine the mechanisms in place to capture the economic benefits of shale gas extraction in these two states, performing a rough cost benefit analysis that attempts to quantify the …

Evaluating Leachability of Residual Solids from Hydraulic Fracturing in the Marcellus Shale
… from hydraulic fracturing operations in the Marcellus Shale to predict the leaching behavior of select elements in disposal environments. Samples collected for this research were: (1) drilling mud, (2) treated sludge from the chemical treatment of process waters, (3) solids from the gravity …

Zircon Geochronology of Ash Beds in the Marcellus Shale of the Appalachian Basin
… in the Acadian orogeny, are interbedded with the Marcellus Shale and Onondaga Limestone of the Appalachian basin. Zircon grains from the ash layers are suitable for SIMS U-Th-Pb geochronology due to their resistant behavior against weathering and ability to record age of the eruptions.;A total of …

A study of chemical interactions between the Marcellus shale and attapulgite and bentonite clays
… chemical interactions that occurred between the Marcellus shale and attapulgite and bentonite clays. The aim of this project was to determine if there were particular elemental changes that could be directly associated with either an attapulgite or bentonite clay. In this study, samples from two …

Combating Budgetary Complications from the Marcellus Shale: The Case for a Pennsylvania Gas Fund
… model based upon the Barnett was applied to the Marcellus formation. The results showed support for the hypothesis that shale gas development creates negative externalities that amount to unfunded mandates and freerider problems for states and localities. Implications and policy solutions, …

Evaluating the Leachability of Elements from Residuals Generated by Hydraulic Fracturing in Marcellus Shale
… from hydraulic fracturing operations in the Marcellus Shale region. Four field samples were evaluated: drilling mud, treated sludge from the chemical treatment of process water, solids from the gravity settling of produced water, and sludge solidified prior to disposal in a municipal …

Regional Mapping and Reservoir Analysis of the Middle Devonian Marcellus Shale in the Appalachian Basin
… of organic-rich facies of the Middle Devonian Marcellus Shale in New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. The analysis is based on well-log data, primarily gamma-ray (the most common and best calibrated) and bulk-density logs (where available). Detailed log analysis has been performed …
-
Evaluating Leachability of Residual Solids Generated from Unconventional Shale Gas Production Operations in Marcellus Shale
… halide (Br), which are typically associated with Marcellus shale and produced waters, leached at high concentrations from most of the residual solids sample. The SS sample, due to its stabilization with CKD, had a lower extraction efficiency as compared to the unconsolidated TS and RS samples. In …

Assessing the surface water quality impacts of Marcellus shale development in Whiteday Creek watershed, West Virginia
… assessed impacts of drilling for gas in the Marcellus shale in the White Day Creek watershed in northern West Virginia. A total of eight stream sites, located both upstream and downstream of three permitted gas wells, were monitored. Two of the permitted wells were in the development phase …

Techno-economic analysis of water management options for unconventional natural gas developments in the Marcellus Shale
… of the natural gas resource, particularly in the Marcellus shale. This thesis explores the technical, economic and regulatory issues associated with water treatment in the shale plays and identifies best practice water management pathways based upon the Marcellus shale characteristics. The key …

Advocacy Networks in the Marcellus Shale Area: A Study of Environmental Organizations in Northeastern and Southwestern Pennsylvania
… and state parks that advocate for or against Marcellus Shale drilling within northeastern and southwestern Pennsylvania where drilling occurs. The purpose of this study is to identify where resources are being mobilized and where environmental activities that focus on Marcellus Shale issues …

Elemental trauma: A case study of living with contaminated water near sites of Marcellus Shale gas extraction
… contaminated water near sites of unconventional Marcellus Shale extraction (commonly called “fracking”) in western Pennsylvania. Five individuals across three households were recruited following IRB approval. Fieldwork was completed in a small town in western Pennsylvania from July of 2013 to …

Passive Tomography to Image Stress Redistribution Prior to Failure on Berea Sandstone and Marcellus Shale for Caprock Integrity
… the failure of a Berea Sandstone sample and Marcellus Shale sample were calculated to determine how well the stress redistribution within the sample could be mapped using the recorded data. For the main indenter tests two samples were tested, a piece of Berea Sandstone and a piece of …
