Pennsylvania Learns that Gas and Water Don’t Mix

Sounds like they’ve got some more of that flammable water.

Natural Gas Well Down After Leak

Jul. 30–MCNETT TWP. — A natural gas well in McNett Township,
Lycoming County, has been “killed” with the well pressure stopped,
said Douglas G. Mehan with East Resources Inc. on Wednesday.

It was done as part of an investigation of a natural gas well leak
there. One person was evacuated from a home, water was being provided
to four homes, 18 wells were being monitored, and some roads in the
area were closed by the state police, it was reported.


Allegheny Defense Project
has several more cases on their website.

Methane contamination linked to drill site

“The gut feeling of everybody is that this is very, very rare – a unique incident,” said Mehan.

    The fish in the area were all at the top of the water column, pooled together. They're now burning a reported million dollars a day in the three wells in the area. Three days had passed since the first evacuated home and the response from the company. We may need the gas, but it's in there, not going anywhere, and we should be obtaining it properly, not quickly.
