A study released on October 25, 2011 by the Center for Rural Pennsylvania suggests that there is no link between hydraulic fracturing and the contamination of water wells. According to their mission statement the Center is a "bipartisan, bicameral, legislative agency that serves as a resource for rural policy within the Pennsylvania General Assembly." The study analyzed the chemistry of pre-drilling and post-drilling water sources and found "no statistically significant increase in methane levels and no significant correlation to the distance from drilling."
