Because methane is the primary component of natural gas, many people unfairly associate the natural gas industry as the leading source of methane emissions in the country – especially since domestic natural gas production…
Just a few points on why we strongly discourage anyone from coming onto our sites – from drilling locations to producing pad sites to water impoundments – without first obtaining permission from Cabot and being accompanied by Cabot personnel: It’s for your own safety. You wouldn’t ever consider walking into…

A wellbore is drilled to aid in the exploration and recovery of natural resources. This wellbore allows hydraulic fracturing fluids to travel down the well while natural gas flows back up the well. To ensure natural gas exploration is done in an environmentally friendly way, wellbores are constructed in a very…
