<p>"The group’s analysis showed that about half of the industry’s methane emissions are from the state’s 70,000 conventional gas wells. They are mostly vertical wells drilled into shallow formations, not into deep shale formations like the Marcellus. One study cited by EDF found conventional wells were losing about 23 percent of their gas, compared to .3 percent for larger unconventional wells in the Marcellus shale region.</p>
<p>David Lyon, EDF’s lead scientist on the report, said the conventional wells probably lose so much gas because of their age. “One of the main reasons is a lack of maintenance..."</p>
