Other Studies and Reports:
University of Cincinnati
A study from the University of Cincinnati examined groundwater samples collected in Carroll County, OH. The research examined 191 water samples, stable isotope analysis and baseline testing. It concluded there was “no evidence for natural gas contamination from shale oil and gas mining in any of the sampled groundwater wells of our study.”

- Energy in Depth Ohio – UC Releases Master’s Thesis on Fracking Study; States “No Evidence for Natural Gas Contamination”
Syracuse University
Syracuse University researchers analyzed 19,278 pre-drilling groundwater samples. The study found that more than 20% of samples naturally exceeded the limit for dissolved methane and confirms that fact that the Appalachian basin has a long history of preexisting dissolved methane which predates shale drilling.
