Hardening and Hollowing Out Private Property: Rentiership, Dispossession, and Planetary Extraction in the Marcellus Shale

open access: yesAntipode, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Southwestern Pennsylvania (SWPA) has long been an energy extractive periphery, continuously remade through cycles of dispossession and accumulation. Here we examine the changing dynamics of private property in these cycles and its central role in the latest phase of extraction—unconventional oil and gas development (UOGD).

Experimental Study on the Effect of Supercritical CO2 on Mechanical Properties and Fracture Characteristics of Longmaxi Shale

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2023
Conventional hydraulic fracturing techniques typically consume large amounts of water when producing shale gas. Fracking fluids may cause environmental pollution. In contrast, supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) (above 31.8°C, 7.29 MPa) can displace CH4
