Abstract

We estimate the potential negative effects of underground natural gas storage on local residents using hedonic regression and a sample of Indiana properties transacted between 2004 and 2013. We find that underground natural gas storage activities significantly reduce property values. Property values increase by about 10 percent at a distance of 1 kilometer from a storage field. Each additional storage well and observation well located near a property reduces the property’s value by about 0.43 percent and 2.64 percent, respectively. Our research sheds new light on a previously unexplored aspect of natural gas resource activities.
