New research shows double digit methane leakage from fracking visible from space

Remote sensing of fugitive methane emissions from oil and gas production in North American tight geologic formations 

The new research concludes: “[E]mission estimates correspond to leakages of 10.1?±?7.3?% and 9.1?±?6.2?% in terms of energy content, calling immediate climate benefit into question and indicating that current inventories likely underestimate fugitive emissions from Bakken and Eagle Ford” shale formations.
