Your absolutely correct and this is not really brought up much so I am glad you did. They always say that the methane was there before they started drilling, which in part is correct however, they fail to mention that there are tests that can determine thermogenic methane which is caused from high pressure and heat as is associated with the deep shale they are drilling in as opposed to upper layers that hold organically decaying matter that also creates methane. The industry says that even with the signature determined they still can't pin it on their wells because it is usually found farther away and apparently the isotopes change when travelling distances. So much more testing needs to be done to get this under control.
