A Pennsylvania federal judge has significantly curtailed the claims in a suit over allegations oil and gas drilling led to the contamination of a Susquehanna County township’s water supply.
U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III of the Middle District of Pennsylvania dismissed defendant GasSearch Drilling Services from the case Ely v. Cabot Oil & Gas and he narrowed the claims against Cabot Oil & Gas to only a private nuisance claim and a negligence claim. Jones dismissed claims against Cabot for breach of contract, lost royalties, fraudulent inducement, negligence per se, medical monitoring, personal injury and certain negligence claims involving minors.
