JUANA SUMMERS, HOST: The vast majority of U.S. oil wells produce very little oil. That might sound like a paradox, but it's just what happens when geology, economics and policy collide.

Another geological proof that peak has been reached is that the gas-to-oil ratio (GOR) in the Permian has steadily risen from 34% to 40% in 2024 with water-to-oil ratio (WOR) rising too ...

Michigan oil and gas well production testing data. This spreadsheet documents more than 550 well production test analyses. Data include county, well name, permit number, gas to oil ratio and gas ...

U.S. oil producers are grappling with geological limits to production growth as the country's top oilfield ages and produces more water and gas and less oil - and may be nearing peak output.

An estimated 880,000 abandoned oil and gas wells dot the United States. These orphaned wells, some of which were deserted as long as a century ago, can leak toxic oil and gas into the groundwater ...

Fracking wastewater, injected underground for permanent disposal, traveled 12 miles through geological faults before bursting to the surface through a previously plugged West Texas oil well in ...

Abandoned oil wells pose a significant environment and health risk, as they can leak methane — a potent greenhouse gas — into the atmosphere and contaminate groundwater. The total estimated ...

There could be about a million 'orphan' oil and gas wells across the U.S. As they age, they can leak greenhouse gases or ...

The Appalachian Basin – which includes parts of eastern Ohio – is one of the areas where aquifers are most at risk.

An oil field crew used heavy machinery to slide a metal plug 1,250 feet below ground and seal off an old brine disposal well. As they backfilled the hole with concrete, the freshly mixed material ...
