Summary: | Environmental hazards associated with oil and gas production mainly include (1) subsidence due to fluid withdrawal and (2) gas migration to the surface. The former aspect is discussed in this article. Subsidence and differential subsidence can crack concrete highways, curbs and sidewalks, weaken foundations and structures of buildings, and also generate faults and fractures through which gas and/or fluids can migrate to the surface. |
