Chesapeake to Pay $1 million to Pennsylvania for E&P Violations

摘要

Chesapeake Energy received a record fine from Pennsylvania officials last week for contaminating water supplies even as it announced it is resuming drilling after a loss-of-control incident at a well in April. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection fined Chesapeake $900,000 for contaminating water supplies in Bradford County. The company was also fined $188,000 for a second accident involving a fire that injured three workers in February.
