Like any industry and/or industrial process, risk mitigation is a key factor when exploring for and producing natural gas. While there are dozens upon dozens of regulations that govern natural gas development in Pennsylvania – all aimed at reducing risk and protecting the environment – at the end of the day, humans are involved in the process which means there will always be some level of risk that must be managed. That said, the natural gas industry is also full of scientists and engineers that study, research and analyze data to mitigate risk at each step of the development process.
