Environmental monitoring and microbial degradation of onshore shale gas activity chemicals and fluids in the Northern Territory

February 11th, 2020

Fact sheet to better understand how typical onshore gas chemicals biodegrade in relevant aquifers and soil types in the Northern Territory.

This project will provide baseline information about microbial communities in subsurface aquifers and soils, and investigate how microbes influence the degradation of chemicals and fluids typically used in the onshore shale gas industry in the Northern Territory.
