Oil & Gas Journal: Differences in terminology and oversight approaches have created marked gaps in government regulation of growing unconventional oil and gas activity in the US, a research team of four graduate students at Johns Hopkins University’s School for Advanced International Studies reported on Apr. 19. The discrepancies potentially could cause problems for work crews and nearby communities’ water supplies, they warned.
Jake Barkin, Anna Anchutina, Natalie Kaplan, and Joniel Cha each examined separate aspects of US oil and gas development regulation and impacts on water regulation for SAIS’s International Energy and Environment Practicum. It lets students combine for-credit courses with extensive research for outside organizations—in this case, the Clean Water Action/Clean Water Fund.
