[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 97344, member: 337"] natural seeps of gas are commonplace and have been well before fracing technology was developed. natural gas builds in the subsurface and will find a way to the surface if and where it can. In the posted case it was under a river. Fracing is just a way to recover it down in the source zone where it's trapped. if anything I would think that fracing actually reduces the surface losses because it reduces the pressures down at the source - relieving the pressure that drives the gas to the surface (that's my amateur geologist view of it anyway) [URL="https://www.dmr.nd.gov/ndgs/shallowgas/"]https://www.dmr.nd.gov/ndgs/shallowgas/ [IMG]https://www.dmr.nd.gov/ndgs/shallowgas/images/shallowgastank.jpg[/IMG] [/URL]Storage tank for natural gas at the Northern Hotel in Edgeley, LaMoure County, North Dakota around 1920.
