clochard, i don't mind chasing a red herring sometimes, but you guys will post Anything that looks like it will fool people into thinking that fracing has dire problems, including a 2006 geothermal problem in switzerland. in switzerland there was no fracing, and there was no shale to penetrate. i understand if you knew jack scheiße about some of the stuff you post, you would not have much to post. so you post anything whether credible or not. but can't you find enough bogus info to post in english so everyone can read and understand what your posted links say.

this link below says the driller used an incorrect sealant for the Rock wall (what were they thinking?) in the drill hole. it says the sealant was not designed to withstand sulfuric acid. the sulfuric acid formed when anhydrite (calcium sulfate) in the basel soil was mixed with water. that is what caused the tear in the rock wall in the drill hole. (t4texas editorial is why did they not use high quality steel pipe instead of a building Rock wall with a sealant?)

this is the original link you appended that you imply has something to do with fracing around the city of basel, schweiz. this whole geothermal mess in basel had absolutely nothing to do with fracing shale. there was no shale involved. read the other links i have provided to see the problem was a rock wall with some kind of sealant under high pressure water that failed when sulfuric acid dissolved the sealant and pushed lots of water close to the surface of the land.

this link talks about some of the legal stuff. these guys drilled down 16000 feet, built some kind of rock wall around the bore hole with a mistaken sealant that sulfuric acid would dissolve (they ignorantly or fraudulently said it would not be dissolved by sulfuric acid), put high pressure water on the bore hole, and the rock wall developed tears when the sealant failed. that was the cause of the earth quake in the basel area.
