Stochastic Risk and Uncertainty Analysis for Shale Gas Extraction in the Karoo Basin of South Africa
We made use of groundwater flow and mass transport equations to investigate the crucial potential risk of water pollution from hydraulic fracturing especially in the case of the Karoo system in South Africa. This paper shows that the upward migration of fluids will depend on the apertures of the cem...
