Environmental Impact of Exploration from Unconventional Gas Deposits in Poland

Abstract: Shale formations have been recently treated only as source rocks and sealing packages mainly of conventional deposits. At present shales, which have a considerable concentration of highly mature organic matter appearing in complexes of over 30 m thick are used as unconventional sources for natural gas production with the use of advanced drilling technologies. Natural gas production in such rock formations necessitates performing a horizontal section in the borehole and a big number of hydraulic fracturing jobs… Show more

“…Investigators also suggested using top hammer or down-the-hole hammer technology to increase success probability and cut the total costs of operations. Detailed information was presented in papers [11,20,21]. Gas wells drilled from the surface in the post-mining area are most frequently realized in highly urbanized areas and close to the existing residential quarters.…”

“…Additionally, most of the published papers related to environmental issues described the quality of typical media like air and water (before and after hydraulic fracturing processes) Werner et al [39] Public health impact, air pollution and ground water contamination, water demand for hydraulic fracturing, legal aspects and other issues of shale gas extraction based on Polish experiences were published in numerous articles. The environmental impact of exploration from unconventional gas deposits were discussed in Macuda & Konieczyńska [21]. The occurrence and measurements of radioactivity in waste generated during shale gas development works in the northeast of Poland can be found in Jodłowski et al [14] The evaluation of environmental hazards during shale gas exploration processes in Poland between 2012 and 2014 was made by Konieczyńska et al [16].…”

“…Usually, drilling waste contains residues of drilling fluids which adheres to solids such as corrosion and scale inhibitors, biocides, lubricants, viscosifiers and chemical additives for shale stability (preventing hydration) [1,2]. In Poland, the oil-based drilling fluids are commonly used for horizontal drilling, mainly due to high content of clay minerals in shale formations [3]. Addition of oil to drilling fluid stabilizes also rheological properties, better than water-based fluids [2].…”
