> His team found substantial subsidence in Katy, Spring, The Woodlands, Fresno and Mont Belvieu with groundwater and oil and gas withdrawal identified as the primary cause.
I lived in Spring for 13 years. In the last 2-3 years in the house, the foundation issues seemed to be accelerating. I assumed it was just old house issues (house was built in the last 1970s) but perhaps subsidence plays a role.
- briandear 4y agoWhat oil and gas drilling is happening in Spring? Or the Woodlands? I live in the Spring Woodlands area and don’t see any oil or gas wells.
- bdcravens 4y ago> groundwater AND oil and gas withdrawal I'm not qualified to speak to which of the two they found in Spring/The Woodlands, but it's not restricted to oil and gas drilling. According to https://www.texas-drilling.com/harris-county/spring https://www.texas-drilling.com/harris-county/spring there are 2 gas drilling leases in Spring. https://www.texas-drilling.com/montgomery-county/the-woodlands https://www.texas-drilling.com/montgomery-county/the-woodlan... shows 2 oil/gas leases.
