Orphan Wells
The Orphan Wells Project conducts research on orphaned and abandoned oil and gas wells across the nation to better understand the extent of methane emissions and ongoing risks to groundwater contamination. The goal of this research is to provide information that can support prioritizing orphan wells for plugging, and repurposing wells for uses such as new hydrocarbon production, carbon capture and...
Shale Gas and Water Resources in Pennsylvania
USGS and partner scientists are investigating water availability, use, quality, and ecology associated with development of shale-gas energy resources in Pennsylvania.
Energy Waste Science
Energy production doesn’t just produce energy. We study the wastes produced from energy development to explore ways of effectively repurposing them and to mitigate environmental impacts of them.
