Proposed study aims to analyze environmental impact of onshore drilling

A proposed study wants to look at the environmental impact of drilling, especially in shale developments, to determine how resource development can occur without negative impacts.

To illustrate how, and ultimately if, oil and gas extraction onshore can occur without impacting the environment, a proposed study by National Oilwell Varco (NOV) and Environmentally Friendly Drilling Systems Program (EFD) is aiming to address current drilling and completion practices that impact the environment, practices that have been developed to protect the environment and what more can be done. A comprehensive questionnaire and workshops would be used to compile a report that also addresses regulations, best practices, public perceptions, environmental concerns that impact drilling and regional reviews.
