Criminal Charges
Just in the last five years, nine Big Shale Gas-related companies have been convicted of criminal charges by the state Attorney General for environmental violations in Pennsylvania, including CNX Resources Corporation; Coterra Energy, Inc.; ETC Northeast Pipeline LLC [Energy Transfer Partners]; Sunoco Pipeline LP [Energy Transfer Partners]; Greylock Production, LLC; Inflection Energy; Range Resources; Shell Falcon Pipeline, LP; and Southeast Directional Drilling.
In 2016, XTO Energy, Inc. [ExxonMobil] settled criminal charges by the state Attorney General without a plea by paying a $300,000 penalty to DEP and $100,000 restitution to the Susquehanna Greenway Partnership.
They also agreed to spend an estimated $20 million to improve wastewater disposal methods in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. [Read more here.]
The criminal charge settlements involved more than $26.9 million in penalties and restitution for actions related to the charges.
On March 14, the Attorney General opened another investigation into Energy Transfer/Sunoco into potential environmental crimes related to the Energy Transfer/Sunoco pipeline that leaked petroleum into household wells in Upper Makefield Township, Bucks County. [Read more here]
In June 2020, Attorney General Josh Shapiro announced the findings and recommendations of Pennsylvania’s 43rd Statewide Investigating Grand Jury report on the unconventional oil and gas industry. [Read more here]
The Grand Jury’s two-year investigation uncovered systematic failure by government agencies in overseeing the fracking industry and fulfilling their responsibility to protect Pennsylvanians from the inherent risks of industry operations.
In addition to exposing failures on the part of the Department of Environmental Protection and the Department of Health, the Grand Jury made eight recommendations to create a more comprehensive legal framework that would better protect Pennsylvanians from the realities of industry operations.

The Office of Attorney General also brought about a 2021 settlement with Chesapeake Energy for payment of royalties to landowners with shale gas leases that involved $5.3 million in restitution for Pennsylvania landowners. [Read more here.]
Read through the list of articles below announcing criminal convictions and related actions to better understand the criminal charges brought against Big Shale Gas in Pennsylvania.
DEP Penalties
From 2009 to this year, the Department of Environmental Protection was involved in penalty settlements totaling over $129.7 million assessed against Big Shale Gas and related petrochemical industries for environmental violations.
The total includes over $9.5 million in joint penalty settlements DEP was involved in with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
This total is actually higher because it doesn’t include dozens of much smaller penalties imposed on these companies for other environmental violations.
One company-- Energy Transfer Partners and related Sunoco Pipeline, LP and ETC Northeast Pipeline LLC-- account for over $48.1 million of those penalties. [Read more here]
The state Public Utility Commission also imposed an additional $1.6 million in penalties on Energy Transfer/Sunoco Pipeline for safety violations.
In 2018, frustration was so great with the lack of compliance with Energy Transfer/Sunoco on the Mariner East Pipeline Project that DEP imposed a total permit block on the company and Republican Sen. Don White (Indiana County) said at a Senate Committee meeting-- “We should be able to deal with that company and put them out of business.” Read more here.
