Shale gas exploration will inevitably contaminate groundwater do?

Shale gas exploration will inevitably contaminate groundwater do?
      A slight acquaintance with whom  Hydraulic fracturing  technical details are available from the pollution concerns of liberation, the technology itself is secure core of the problem lies in how the Government to monitor.
According to ARI's estimates, China recoverable  unconventional gas  reserves of up to 50 trillion cubic meters, of which 36 trillion cubic meters of  shale gas   coalbed methane 9 trillion cubic meters, tight gas 300 million cubic meters. This figure is China recoverable conventional gas reserves ten times.
2012, the Ministry of oil and gas resources in China Strategic Research Center estimated recoverable  Unconventional gas  has 25 trillion cubic meters (excluding Tibet region). Although a far cry from two reserves data, but China has a very impressive mineable reserves of unconventional oil and gas fact is recognized worldwide.
Refers to the so-called unconventional oil and gas exist in this type of very low permeability rock, hard self-discharge, after the drilling hydraulic fracturing and other means necessary to stimulate oil and gas wells can sustain production. Unconventional oil and gas exploitation in the past was considered too expensive, and with rising energy prices and mining technology, the exploitation of unconventional oil and gas become an important component of national energy development.
Unconventional oil and gas exploration techniques used in  hydraulic fracturing  may pose some environmental and social issues. Faced with these problems and their own energy situation, different countries for the exploitation of unconventional oil and gas holding different attitude.
U.S. unconventional oil and gas exploration technology birthplace of the 1950s began using hydraulic fracturing technology, now being developed and implemented regulatory measures, including restrictions on gas emissions and require disclosure of fracturing fluid ingredients. Mexico and Canada have a lot of unconventional oil and gas reserves, but only Canada conducted a commercial scale mining.
European countries for a different attitude unconventional oil and gas, the largest reserves of Poland and France, Poland actively supported mining, while France was strictly prohibited hydraulic fracturing. Australia unconventional oil and gas exploitation has developed increasingly strict environmental protection measures, particularly targeted at CBM development. Australia's conventional oil and gas reserves is still large, the next twenty years, conventional oil and gas development is still Australia's major work.
Although countries in the exploitation of  shale gas  has taken a different policy choice, but in fact meet the technical specifications of the hydraulic fracturing technique is very safe and will not contaminate groundwater. Anyone who has little understanding of the technical details about Water fracturing, from water pollution worries are freed.
Of course, in addition to the technology itself, if the regulation is not in place, operating in violation of the relevant technical specifications the result is bound to be contaminated.
