> If natural gas is extracted from a natural gas field the initial pressure (up to 600 bar) in the field will drop over the years. The gas pressure also supports the soil layers above the field. If the pressure drops, the soil pressure increases and this leads to subsidence at the ground level. Since exploration of the Slochteren (Netherlands) gas field started in the late 1960s the ground level over a 250 km² area has dropped with a current maximum of 30 cm [3]. See also this subsidence lecture.

the engineers that work at my multi-billion dollar company \> wikipedia.

they’ve drilled over 4,000 gas wells in western pa. how many have you drilled?

but addressing your faggoty wiki page: 30cm = less than a foot, and this is an entire area of 250 square km that has sank, which means that it wouldn’t do dick to any surface property. Coal is mined just several hundred feet below the ground with gaping caverns, natural gas wells are drilled 3,500 feet down and suck gas from the tiny crevices in sand, in much the same way you know doubt used to suck farts from the netherregions of your father’s asshole.

So please, go troll some other thread faggot.
