"Exploitation of shale gas by hydraulic fracturing (fracking) is highly controversial and concerns have been\r\nraised regarding induced risks from this technique. The SHEER project, an EU Horizon 2020-funded project,\r\nis looking into developing best practice to understand, prevent and mitigate the potential short- and long-term\r\nenvironmental impacts and risks from shale gas exploration and exploitation. Three major potential impacts were\r\nidentified: groundwater contamination, air pollution and induced seismicity. This presentation will deal with the\r\nhydrogeological aspect.\r\nAs part of the SHEER project, four monitoring wells were installed at a shale gas exploration site in Northern\r\nPoland. They intercept the main drinking water aquifer located in Quaternary sediments. Baseline monitoring was\r\ncarried out from mid-December 2015 to beginning of June 2016. Fracking operations occurred in two horizontal\r\nwells, in two stages, in June and July 2016. The monitoring has continued after fracking was completed, with site\r\nvisits every 4-6 weeks. Collected data include measurements of groundwater level, conductivity and temperature\r\nat 15-minute intervals, frequent sampling for laboratory analyses and field measurements of groundwater\r\nphysico-chemical parameters. Groundwater samples are analysed for a range of constituents including dissolved\r\ngases and isotopes.\r\nThe presentation will focus on the interpretation of baseline monitoring data. The insights gained into the\r\nbehaviour of the Quaternary aquifer will allow a greater perspective to be place on the initial project understanding\r\ndraw from previous studies. Short-term impacts will also be discussed in comparison with the baseline monitoring\r\nresults. The presentation will conclude with discussion of challenges regarding monitoring of shale gas fracking\r\nsites."^^ . "2017-04" . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "P. L."^^ . "Younger"^^ . "P. L.
