Rain in the Cellar

Standing Water, Hydrocarbon Sheen and Anuran Breeding in the Wellhead Cellars of a Retired Onshore Field

A paper from the School of Underlying Conditions surveys the 41 wellhead cellars still open on the retired oil and gas field beneath the campus at thirteen fortnightly visits across one wet season. Thirty-four held water, 15 showed a sheen and 3 a stream of bubbles beside the wellhead; anurans bred in 21, and the concrete-lined cellars released no metamorphs until a timber plank was put in.
