The History Of The Pennsylvania Oil Boom And Petroleum Industry

True or False ?

Also consider that there is ground water that is not potable/irragable without processing, there are plenty of salt water aquifers in most regions in the Midwest to draw water from. Other times you do not need to put water in, there are currently applications to use voids from oil extraction for pressurized gas storage.

   False, in any meaningful sense. Most oil wells that are refilled at all are refilled from water from the oil field itself. An insignificant amount of water is added to make up any shortfall.

   decidedly false the amount of water that accumulates in a drained oil well is totally insignificant, and has no impact on the water table.
