<br /> Well Casing Failures
<br /> Well-casing failure has been studied by the
<br /> industry. In 2.010, Pennsylvania drilled 1,454
<br /> wells, of which 90 failed (6.2%). In 2011, 1,937
<br /> wells were drilled and 121 failed (6.2%). This
<br /> data is for new wells, and well casings are more
<br /> likely to fail with age. In 2010, Pennsylvania's
<br /> DEP cited 451 wells with 1,544 violations that
<br /> harmed water quality. The only safe frack drilling
<br /> is no drilling at all.
