DEP: Cabot Can Resume Drilling

The DEP is allowing Cabot Oil and Gas to resume drilling in Susquehanna County.

DEP said today that the Houston-based company complied with the terms of an order that stopped its hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," activities last month.

Cabot's operations were temporarily halted after three spills of a liquid-gel lubricant within seven days at one of its gas-drilling sites.

Fracking is a technique used by drillers to fracture rock and release natural gas from the Marcellus Shale formation.
