Marcellus Shale Explosion Attorneys in West Virginia
Injured in a Gas Drilling Accident? Call An Experienced Attorney!
Marcellus Shale is a type of rock that is common in West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and parts of New York. Hydraulic fracturing is a method used by natural gas drilling companies that involves the process of injecting large quantities of materials such as sand, water or chemicals into the ground. When these materials are injected at high pressures, it disrupts the sensitive Marcellus Shale and causes cracks which release vital natural gas which can then be collected and processed. While the reward for this work is often high, the dangers involved in terms of accidents and injury are also high.
Call (888) 492-4303 to speak with an attorney at Fitzsimmons Law Firm, PLLC who is experienced with these types of gas drilling accidents.
What Causes Marcellus Shale Explosions?
Hydrofracking is a hotly-debated method of extraction that sometimes causes groundwater contamination, as well as chemical spills due to equipment malfunction. Another very real threat comes from the possibility of explosions and fires caused by hydraulic fracturing. The severity of explosion depends heavily on the amount of natural gas that ignites, and the damages that can arise from a Marcellus Shale explosion can be massive.
Natural gas field workers who are injured in Marcellus Shale explosions should speak with a gas drilling accident attorney in West Virginia immediately in order to pursue compensation from your employer.
