“…In recent years, the coal-bearing shale gas and CBM have been paid much attention in China (Luo et al., 2018; Yang et al., 2017) because of the coal measure gas (CBM, shale gas and sand gas) in superposed reservoirs existing a possibility of co-exploration and co-production. Significant production of continuous (unconventional) petroleum and gas resources has been explored and developed, such as Bowen and Surat basins in Australia (Towler et al., 2016), Alberta Basin in Canada (Bustin and Bustin, 2016), Fort Worth Basin and Piceance Basin in USA (Hawkins et al., 2016; Pollastro, 2007). In fact, transitional co-existing of coals and shales are distributed widely in China, such as the Carboniferous–Permian in the Qinshui Basin (Li et al., 2018b), Carboniferous Benxi Formation and the Lower Permian Shanxi Formation-Taiyuan Formation in the Ordos Basin (Tang et al., 2014) and the Permian Longtan Formation in southern China (Luo et al., 2018; Zhang et al., 2017).…”

Indentifying reservoir characteristics of coals and their associated shales is very important in understanding the co-exploration and co-production potential of unconventional gases in Guizhou, China. Accordingly, comprehensive experimental results of 12 core samples from well LC-1# in the northern Guizhou were used and analyzed in this paper to better understand their vertical reservoir study. Coal and coal measured shale, in Longtan Formation, are rich in organic matter, with postmature stage of approximately 3.5% and shales of type III kerogen with dry gas generation. All-scale pore size analysis indicates that the pore size distribution of coal and shale pores is mainly less than 20 nm and 100 nm, respectively. Pore volume and area of coal samples influenced total gas content as well as desorbed gas and lost gas content. Obvious relationships were observed between residual gas and BET specific surface area and BJH total pore volume (determined by nitrogen adsorption). For shale, it is especially clear that the desorbed gas content is negatively correlated with BET specific surface area, BJH total pore volume and clay minerals. However, the relationships between desorbed gas and TOC (total

“…The Piceance Basin is part of the larger Mancos Shale, the second largest natural gas resource in the United States, and has been developed for energy extraction since the early 20th century (Hawkins et al, 2016; Martinez & Preston, 2018). Development of the Mancos Shale is projected to increase throughout the next decade and into the foreseeable future (Bureau of Land Management, 2016; Martinez & Preston, 2018), leading to conversion of sagebrush habitat that is an important resource for over 350 terrestrial species (Knick et al., 2003; Souther et al., 2014; Weller et al., 2002; Wisdom et al., 2005).…”

Anthropogenic noise is a complex disturbance known to elicit a variety of responses in wild animals. Most studies examining the effects of noise on wildlife focus on vocal species, although theory suggests that the acoustic environment influences non‐vocal species as well. Common mammalian prey species, like mule deer and hares and rabbits (members of the family Leporidae), rely on acoustic cues for information regarding predation, but the impacts of noise on their behaviour has received little attention. We paired acoustic recorders with camera traps to explore how average daily levels of anthropogenic noise from natural gas activity impacted occupancy and detection of mammalian herbivores in an energy field in the production phase of development. We consider the effects of noise in the context of several physical landscape variables associated with natural gas infrastructure that are known to influence habitat use patterns in mule deer. Our results suggest that mule deer detection probability was influenced by the interaction between physical landscape features and anthropogenic noise, with noise strongly reducing habitat use. In contrast, leporid habitat use was not related to noise but was influenced by landscape features. Notably, mule deer showed a stronger predicted negative response to roads with high noise exposure. This study highlights the complex interactions of anthropogenic disturbance and wildlife distribution and presents important evidence that the effects of anthropogenic noise should be considered in research focused on non‐vocal specialist species and management plans for mule deer and other large ungulates.

“…TEDX is also conducting a project to help prioritize chemicals that may be leading to endocrine, reproductive, birth, and long-term health effects in residents living near oil and gas development. This topic will be of continuing national concern as the Mancos Shale in western Colorado and eastern Utah was just determined to have the second largest reserve of technically recoverable gas after the Marcellus Shale formation in the eastern United States (Hawkins et al 2016). …”

Summary:For nearly 30 years, Dr. Theo Colborn (1927–2014) dedicated herself to studying the harmful effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals on wildlife, humans, and the environment. More recently, she extended this effort to address the health impacts of unconventional oil and gas development. Colborn was a visionary leader who excelled at synthesizing scientific findings across disciplines. Using her unique insights and strong moral convictions, she changed the face of toxicological research, influenced chemical regulatory policy, and educated the public. In 2003, Colborn started a nonprofit organization—The Endocrine Disruption Exchange (TEDX). As we celebrate the 25th anniversary of endocrine disruption science, TEDX continues her legacy of analyzing the extensive body of environmental health research and developing unique educational resources to support public policy and education. Among other tools, TEDX currently uses the systematic review framework developed by the National Toxicology Program at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, to answer research questions of pressing concern. In this article, we pay homage to the tenacious woman and the exemplary contribution she made to the field of environmental health. Recommendations for the future of the field are drawn from her wisdom.
