DALLAS, Texas, July 17 (TNSres) -- Southern Methodist University issued the following news:
* * *
An SMU-led research team found these ground surface conditions help natural gas travel the farthest from a leaking pipeline.
* * *
When natural gas leaks from a subsurface pipeline, a ground cover of water/snow saturation, asphalt paving or a combination of these can cause the gas to migrate away from the leak site up to three to four times farther . . .
