EPA drills down on ‘fracking’ technique
Controversial drilling technique free from federal regulation gets new look
7/20/2010 8:50:34 PM ET
HARRISBURG, Pa. — So vast is the wealth of natural gas locked into dense rock deep beneath Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia and Ohio that some geologists estimate it's enough to supply the entire East Coast for 50 years.
But freeing it requires a powerful drilling process called hydraulic fracturing or "fracking," using millions of gallons of water brewed with toxic chemicals, that some fear could pollute water above and below ground and deplete aquifers.
As gas drillers swarm to this lucrative Marcellus Shale region and blast into other shale reserves around the country, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is taking a new look at the controversial fracking technique, currently exempt from federal regulation. The $1.9 million study comes as the nation reels from the Deepwater Horizon environmental and economic disaster playing out in the Gulf of Mexico.
The oil and gas industry steadfastly defends the process as having been proven safe over many years as well as necessary to keep the nation on a path to energy independence.
Studies have "consistently shown that the risks are managed, it's safe, it's a technology that's essential ... it's also a technology that's well-regulated," said Lee Fuller, director of the industry coalition Energy In Depth.
"A fair study," Fuller added, "will show that the procedures that are there now are highly effective and do not need to be altered — the federal government does not need to be there."
But because of the oil disaster, conservation groups say the drilling industry has lost it credibility and the rapid expansion of shale drilling needs to be scrutinized.
"People no longer trust the oil and gas industry to say, 'Trust us, we're not cutting corners,' " said Cathy Carlson, a policy adviser for Earthworks, which supports federal regulation and a moratorium on fracking in the Marcellus Shale.
Just six years ago, an EPA study declared the fracking process posed "little or no threat to underground sources of drinking water" and with that blessing, Congress a year later exempted hydraulic fracturing from federal regulation.
Now the agency, prodded by Congress even before the Gulf disaster and stung by criticism that its 2004 study was scientifically flawed and maybe politically tainted, will bring the issues to the heart of the land lease rush in the Marcellus Shale: Canonsburg, Pa., on Thursday and Binghamton, N.Y., on August 12.
EPA hearings earlier this month in Fort Worth, Texas and Denver focused on issues including drilling in the Barnett Shale of Texas, and in Colorado and Wyoming, which have experienced similar natural gas booms. Natural gas is also being recovered from the Haynesville Shale in north Louisiana, the Fayetteville Shale in northern Arkansas and Woodford Shale in southern Oklahoma.

Seepage detected near blown-out BP well- US govt
HOUSTON | Sun Jul 18, 2010 9:08pm EDT
HOUSTON July 18 (Reuters) - The top U.S. oil spill official on Sunday directed BP Plc to submit a plan for reopening its capped Macondo well to flow into the ocean after engineers detected seepage on the ocean floor near the well.
"I direct you to provide me with a written procedure for opening the choke valve as quickly as possible ... should hydrocarbon seepage near the well head be confirmed," retired Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen wrote in a letter to BP chief managing director Bob Dudley.

something called the Voraxial Separator.
BAYOU CHICO - BP is also working on some new approaches and technologies to help capture the oil that's already spilled.
They demonstrated some them for the media on Bayou Chico today.
BP's Vessels of Opportunity Program is downsizing at least when it comes to inland waters.
These smaller skimmer boats are part of a "rat pack" or Rapid Attack Team.
Really what we're thinking is teams of six to twelve in environmentally sensitive areas inlets, bays ok fleeted up, ready to go when we have oil hit.
The concept is to have a faster vessel, meaning 15, 20, 25 knots that can actually move to a location, and then actually drop to the appropriate speed for skimming drop the equipment into the water, then skim at 1, 2, even as much as three knots.
Along with showing us how some of these smaller boats are working together, they're also showing us how some of the new technology on these boats actually works.
Since April, we've all been working together to look for new solutions.
That's the goal of BP's hit team one of those new solutions is something called the Voraxial Separator.
This land version shows how it separates oil out of water and delivers it into a separate holding container.
Its the same concept with this real world version.
Its gonna be over the side, so its not taking oil up, water and oil up its actually gonna be separating the oil, if there was any out here in the marina from the water directly.

Oil spill
Matthew Brown, Associated Press Writer, On Thursday July 15, 2010, 10:22 am
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Biologists say oil has smeared at least 300-400 pelicans and hundreds of terns in the largest seabird nesting area along the Louisiana coast -- marking a sharp and sudden escalation in wildlife harmed by BP's Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
The finding underscores that official tallies of birds impacted by the spill could be significantly underestimating the scope of damage.
The government counts only oiled birds collected for rehabilitation or found dead, for use as evidence in the spill investigation. Oiled birds in the many nesting areas that dot the Gulf coast typically are left in place and not counted in official tallies.
Researchers from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology said Wednesday that they had spotted the oiled pelicans on Raccoon Island over the past several days. The spit of land lines the Gulf outside the state's coastal marshes. An estimated 10,000 birds nest on the island in Terrebonne Parish.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist Lisa Williams said state and federal observers had documented only 68 oiled pelicans on Raccoon Island.
Biologist Marc Dantzker with Cornell -- considered one of the nation's premier institutions for bird research -- said about 30 to 40 of the pelicans spotted by his group were oiled "head-to-tail." Many more had visible blotches of oil.
Dead birds also were seen, although no count was available for those.
"This is a major oiling event of an incredibly important seabird colony," Dantzker said. "Many of these birds will be dead soon -- weeks and months. These blotches are deadly."
Even a small amount of oil can kill birds because it hampers their ability to regulate their body temperature.
The Raccoon Island colony was established by the state in the 1980s. Its successful expansion epitomized restoration efforts that brought brown pelicans off the endangered species list last year.
Oil from the spill 50 miles off the coast hit the island on July 10, after Hurricane Alex drove high seas into the region as it passed to the south, according to Louisiana officials. And with millions of gallons of crude still at sea it could be hit again.
"This is not like Exxon Valdez where you had tens of thousands of birds killed all at once," said Ken Rosenberg, director of conservation science at the Cornell laboratory. "It's more insidious because it is literally happening in waves and it's happening over and over again as the birds are moving around."
Dantzker said he was surprised the government's number was so low and speculated that they used a different method to count oiled birds.
"Come out and look with us," he said. "If you're on the island and using binoculars you will see those birds."
Across the Gulf, roughly 3,000 killed or oil-covered birds have been collected by wildlife agencies since BP's Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded and sank on April 20, killing 11 workers.
Williams, the wildlife official, declined to say how many more birds that were not collected might have oil on them. She said those figures were being compiled, but the results would not be available for some time.
As has been the case with other nesting colonies, Williams said her agency did not plan to rescue the oiled birds from Raccoon Island because that could disrupt other birds in the colony. Entering a colony can flush nesting birds and lead to adults inadvertently killing their young.
"We don't want to cause more harm than good," Williams said.

KLOVE here.
k you're OK by me, keep it up!
I needed a laugh today. Someone on yahoo said they are cleaning the pee and poop! LOL, althogh true. Testing cleaning the oil. Hopefully a contract for that also.
I wondered when someone was going to read it? Clean sand chemically, has worked in Canada has cleaned upped after hurricanes???????
Under the sand, BP oil hidden from easy cleanup

No, it's to big. It can't get close enough.
The proven performer BP speaks of is the machine cleaning sand on the beach. The mammoth machine to separate oil is probably the A Whale?
You may be on to something?
