Chesapeake launches program to responsibly produce natural gas in Haynesville, Marcellus
Friday, April 16, 2021
Chesapeake Energy Corp. has launched a pilot program with environmental monitoring company Project Canary to watch methane emissions more closely and earn a certification that natural gas from its Marcellus and Haynesville shale wells is responsibly produced, according to Natural Gas Intelligence.
The agreement includes installing methane gas monitors at select well pads in the Marcellus and Haynesville shale fields. According to the companies, the agreement could be expanded in time.
Chesapeake will utilize Project Canary’s on-site emissions monitoring technology and its TrustWell certification process to verify that the natural gas is responsibly produced, using the highest environmental standards possible.

Shale FAQ
What are mineral rights?
Mineral rights are the rights of the owner of the property to mine or produce any resources below the surface of the property. Mineral rights are different from surface rights.
Will I get free natural gas if I allow fracking on my property?
Maybe. It depends on your particular lease agreement. Some companies allow property owners a yearly free gas allowance. But, the process of connecting your property to the gas source may be more complicated. Some companies will provide a hookup, others require the landowner to provide one.
