> Source rock-hosted fossil fuel resources - gas shale and tight oil - 
> were considered marginally economic or uneconomic a few years ago, but 
> now constitute rapidly growing shares of US gas and oil production. 
> While the techniques of exploration and production are not very 
> different than those traditionally practiced, the pace and scale of 
> operations is unfamiliar, particularly in those parts of the country 
> without significant experience dealing with the oil and gas industry. 
> Increasing production of oil and gas bring many economic benefits, but 
> also raise a host of concerns connected with environmental protection. 
> Important issues include water availability, the chemical additives 
> used in hydraulic fracturing fluids, recycling and/or disposal of 
> flowback and produced waters, aquifer protection, vented and fugitive 
> methane, air quality, surface disturbance, and earthquake hazards. 
> This talk will focus on the status of technology in each of these 
> areas. Also discussed will be a brief review of US and international 
> regulatory approaches.
> Notes:
> +This event is organized by the MIT Mining, Oil and Gas Club and the 
> System Design and Management Program. It is open to the whole MIT 
> Community and everyone interested in the topic.
> +Food will be served
