The shale gas rush is only just getting underway in my area. There are only a handful of wells already drilled (and none on my aquifer), but hundreds of vertical exploratory wells have been permitted in the past year.

Obviously the existing lease was part of our title search, but we've believed all along that if push came to shove we could get our title quieted, and we thought the likelihood of water contamination from conventional wells on neighboring properties was fairly low. Fracking is something else.
