Oxidation of methane in cold, anaerobic ground water, linked to bacterial sulfate reduction / Dale Van Stempvoort ... [et al.].: En13-5/03-199E-PDF

"When fugitive methane migrates upward along boreholes of oil and gas wells to shallow ground water, this greenhouse gas may vent from adjacent water wells or pass through overlying soil to the atmosphere. In this field study near Lloydminster, Alberta, Canada, we found hydrogeochemical evidence that fugitive methane from an oil well impacted a shallow aquifer, but has been attenuated by bacterial sulfate reduction under low temperature (3 to 7°C) anaerobic conditions"--Abstract.
