HYDROGEOLOGICAL AND LEGAL CONDITIONS OF PROSPECTION AND EXPLORATION OF SHALE GAS
Journal Title: Biuletyn Państwowego Instytutu Geologicznego - Year 2013, Vol 456, Issue 456
Abstract
Each interference in water environment cause or can cause quantitative or/and qualitative changes in natural formed or also changed conditions caused by already exploitation of water. This statement applies to plain water (groundwater and surface water) subjected in management to regulations of water law and in some aspect to geological and mining law and also curative and termal waters which exploitation and protection of resources are conditioned by regulations of the last quoted law. Searching and recognizing of shell gas deposits using seismic methods is dangerous in some regions for curative and thermal water resources. Hydraulic fracturing treatments used in recognizing and exploration this gas can endanger utility ground and surface water because of big draft of water essential to these treatments and problems with drop of flowback waters and waste. Experiments done in Poland till now (drilling and hydraulic fracturing) are provided with violation of geological and mining law and environmental protection act.
