The maximum reported height of an upward propagating hydraulic fracture from several thousand fracturing operations in the Marcellus, Barnett, Woodford, Eagle Ford and Niobrara shale (USA) is ∼588 m. Of the 1170 natural hydraulic fracture pipes image... Read More about Hydraulic fractures: How far can they go?.

Deepwater canyons: An escape route for methane sealed by methane hydrate (2012)
Journal Article
Davies, R., Thatcher, K., Mathias, S., & Yang, J. (2012). Deepwater canyons: An escape route for methane sealed by methane hydrate. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 323-324, 72-78. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2011.11.007

Three-dimensional seismic imaging and modelling of gas hydrates from offshore of west Africa (Mauritania) shows that submarine canyons on stable continental slopes can capture and release methane that is sealed by methane hydrate. We demonstrate this... Read More about Deepwater canyons: An escape route for methane sealed by methane hydrate.
