Increasing methane contamination in water due to shale gas exploration driving the market Natural gas trapped inside the shale formation is known as shale gas. Fine-grained sedimentary rocks, generally known as shale, can be a rich source of petroleum and natural gas. Natural gas is usually trapped within the pores of sedimentary rocks. Shale gas is becoming increasingly popular because it is considered a cleaner coal, emitting less than half the CO 2. A study was conducted by U.S. researchers in 2011 to measure the methane contamination in 68 wells that drew water for human consumption from underground natural resources across northeast Pennsylvania, and New York State. It revealed that methane concentration was almost 17 times higher in wells near the shale gas production site. The contamination level increased with increasing proximity to the active shale gas production site.
