Summary

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Data Release is focused on the geochemistry of wastewater (including flowback and produced water) samples, co-produced with natural gas, collected from the Marcellus Shale Energy and Environment Laboratory (MSEEL) site. MSEEL is a long-term field site and laboratory at the Northeast Natural Energy LLC (NNE) production facility, adjacent to the Monongahela River, located in western Monongalia County, West Virginia, USA. NNE began drilling two horizontal production wells, MIP (Morgantown Industrial Park) -5H and MIP-3H, in the Marcellus Shale in 2014. The wells were completed in December 2015. Large volumes of wastewater are generated with natural gas production. These wastewaters contain organic and [...]

Purpose

The purpose of this data release is to provide historical data sets associated with the MSEEL site located in western Monongalia County, West Virginia. The data-collection effort records the chemical concentrations of wastewater from the production of natural gas and how those concentrations change over time. These data obtained from samples collected from 2015 through 2019 may be used to assist management decisions regarding wastewater-handling practices at gas-production sites and to aid in the response to accidental and intentional releases of wastewaters in the environment, thereby minimizing potential environmental damages. All data are presented in tabular database-ready format.
