yeah there are numerous formations they are drilling but the one the companies want is the marcellus shale. Its suposed to make the Barrnett shale (texas) look like a joke. They are selling marcellus shale stock on the market .

My hunting buddy had that problem. He ended up drilling 3 wells. first one was salt water, 2nd was water and ng(looked like club soda) and the 3rd one was good water.

Fox news had a whole thing on it. and the family is trying to make the gas companies pay to fix it.
but nobody could say if it was cause by leaking gas pipelines or from the gas in the ground. But they still think the gas comapny should pay.
As I am watching it I am thinking WTF. If you buy a house, most mortgage comapnies make you test the water. Then I am like if it isnt from a pipe leaking into the ground then the gas companies are not liable, but nobody even thinks of that they just think the gas comapny is liable.
fawking news dooshes.
I would be going after the previous owners. they must have known.

People don't realize crap comes from somewhere... Gas comes from the gas pipe, which comes from the gas factory. Turkey comes from the Turkey Factory, Milk from the Milk Factory... They don't realize where crap comes from, they're dumb. If the gas is from a leak, then the gas company should pay for it. Being that they bought the house, it means its probably been there a while. I doubt the water was always like that... The previous owners would have probably noticed the flammable water. My guess is, the gas pipe cracked and made this new problem.

But who knows... Maybe not.
