Hydraulic fracturing operations performed at the stage of gas prospection in shale formations are aimed at opening out gas residing in rock micropores. Large quantities of fracturing fluid, with physicochemical composition adjusted to their properties, are injected to the selected interval of a horizontal well. Finally, sand (proppant) is injected along with the fracturing fluid to support the newly formed fracture. The results of a computer simulation of noise emission generated by high pressure pumps during hydraulic fracturing operations, and the results of noise measurements during such work in the north of Poland are presented in the paper. The analysis of the obtained results revealed that the noise standards for day hours in the residential area localized ca. 320 m from the well pad was not exceeded for the hydraulic fracturing operations. The noise level in the night hours was considerably higher, therefore a respective sound berm should be construed.

At the beginning of 2015 a research study, which covered the main unconventional hydrocarbon (shale gas) basins in Poland, was completed. The study was coordinated by the General Directorate for Environmental Protection. Field studies and analysis were carried out by the consortium led by Polish Geological Institute – National Research Institute, in collaboration with University of Science and Technology AGH in Cracow and Gdañsk University of Technology. Seismometric monitoring was conducted by the Central Mining Institute. The involvement of more than 60 specialists with interdisciplinary knowledge and international experience has provided high-quality results. The aim of the study was to analyze environmental impact of shale gas exploration, taking into account differentiated geological, geoenvironmental, land use, and technological data. The scope of the study included, among others: the groundwater and surface water, landscape, nature conservation forms, soil, noise and ambient air. The study was performed in 7 exploration areas around 7 different wells and included environment baseline study. The results show that there is no long-lasting, significant impact of shale gas exploration on the environment.
