The LCGC Blog: Evaluating the Impact of Unconventional Oil and Gas Extraction on Groundwater
Unconventional oil and gas (UOG) extraction (such as horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing) offers abundant (and, perhaps, cleaner) sources of energy; however, UOG has divided public opinion as it could have potentially deleterious effects on the environment. In this new instalment, Kevin Schug discusses his past and present work into determining the potential impact of UOG in the USA.
