Life of a well documented by Susquehanna County’s Janice Gavern

[vc_row animation=””][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]You may have seen today’s article in the Scranton Times Tribune – Susquehanna County resident documents gas well in 8,000 photos over 1 year. If not, we encourage you to read it. It tells the story of how Janice Gavern took photos of an active Cabot well pad for a year to document the progress on her neighbor’s land.

Ms. Gavern ended up taking roughly 8,000 photos of the development on her neighbor’s property over the course of a year. She took about 650 of those pictures and create an e-book (available here on Amazon) called “Photojournal of a Pennsylvania Natural Gas Well.

This isn’t the first time that Ms. Gavern’s photos are being used for educational purposes. As explained in the Times-Tribune article, Cabot actually purchased about 20 of her original photos so that we could use them in some of our publications.

Cabot was fine with Ms. Gavern taking these photos for two reasons:

  1. She had permission from the landowner
  2. She was not on any Cabot property, disrupting operations, or putting herself or others in dangerous situations.

If you haven’t already noticed, one of our goals is to help answer the questions you have and to be as transparent in our operations as possible. The photos in the newly released “Photojournal of a Pennsylvania Natural Gas Well” are an excellent way to see for yourself the lifespan of pad site.
