Book excerpt: British Columbia has been extracting natural gas for half of a century but until recently, conventional wisdom held that the province's economic gas reserves would be significantly depleted by 2020; the readily accessible gas was running out and other reserves were either too remote or too costly to extract. That notion has been challenged in the past several years because the costs of extracting hard-to-access sources of gas, notably shale gas, have dropped significantly. The impacts are far-reaching, as it is now known that B.C. is located on top of gas reserves that are significant not only provincially but also on a continental scale.

Book excerpt: The government of British Columbia faces a host of challenges as it attempts to establish a liquefied natural gas export industry and reignite unconventional shale gas production in northeast BC. Not only must it contend with a competitive and saturated global marketplace, but it must also address conflict with Treaty 8 First Nations whose treaty rights and traditional territories were impacted by early development. Shale gas impacts are intensely local, but First Nations have struggled to gain meaningful influence in colonial decision-making processes to ensure development decisions respect community values and authority. This research, conducted in partnership with Fort Nelson First Nation, explores the challenges and opportunities faced by the Nation in their efforts to reshape governance of the shale gas industry in their territory to address its environmental impacts. The research is situated within a review of multiple literatures including political economy, Indigenous governance, and critical studies of natural resource governance, social conflict and co-management in Indigenous-settler contexts. Through interviews and participant observation with the Fort Nelson First Nation, the thesis documents how those involved in shale gas governance at the local level perceive existing processes, and investigates under what conditions a more localized governance might resolve shale gas conflict in northeast BC.

Book excerpt: As the province of British Columbia seeks to rapidly develop an extensive natural gas industry, it faces a number of challenges. One of these is that of ensuring that development does not disproportionately impact some of the province's most marginalized communities: the First Nations on whose land extraction will take place. This is particularly crucial given that environmental problems are often caused by unjust and inequitable social conditions that must be rectified before sustainable development can be advanced. This research investigates how the BC Oil and Gas Commission's consultation process addresses, and could be improved to better address Treaty 8 First Nations' concerns regarding shale gas development within their traditional territories. Interviews were conducted with four Treaty 8 First Nations, the Treaty 8 Tribal Association, and provincial government and industry staff. Additionally, participant observation was conducted with the Fort Nelson First Nation Lands and Resources Department. Findings indicate that like many other resource consultation processes in British Columbia, the oil and gas consultation process is unable to meaningfully address First Nations' concerns and values due to fundamental procedural problems, including the permit-by-permit approach and the exclusion of First Nations from the point of decision-making. Considering the government's failure to regulate the shale gas industry in a way that protects ecological, social and cultural resilience, we argue that new governance mechanisms are needed that reallocate authority to First Nations and incorporate proposals for early engagement, long-term planning and cumulative impact assessment and monitoring. Additionally, considering the exceptional power differential between government, industry and First Nations, we argue that challenging industry's social license to operate is an important strategy for First Nations working to gain greater influence over development within their territories, and ensure a more sustainable shale gas industry.

Download or read book Environmental Impacts of Shale Gas Extraction in Canada written by The Expert Panel on Harnessing Science and Technology to Understand the Environmental Impacts of Shale Gas Extraction and published by Council of CanadianAcademies. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report comes at the request of Environment Canada, which asked the Council to assemble a multidisciplinary expert panel to consider the state of knowledge of potential environmental impacts from the exploration, extraction, and development of Canada’s shale gas resources. The Council’s report presents a comprehensive examination of shale gas development in Canada. It does not, however, determine the safety, nor the economic benefits, of development. It reviews the use of new and conventional technologies in shale gas extraction, and examines several issues of concern including potential impacts on surface water and groundwater, greenhouse gas emissions, cumulative land disturbance, and human health. The report also outlines approaches for monitoring and research, as well as mitigation and management strategies.

Book excerpt: Intensive drilling in northern British Columbia has resulted in unprecedented water withdrawals and even a bombing campaign directed against the Encana Corporation to protest the pace of development.12 Given the economic importance of the resource and growing concerns about industry's use of and impact on water, this report examines the implications of shale gas production on Canada's water suppli [...] When the cement reaches the bottom or shoe of the casing, it flows back up under pressure toward the surface on the outside of the pipe. [...] For example, in a recent letter sent to the head of British Petroleum by the US House Committee on Energy and Commerce following the explosion at the company's offshore oil well in the Gulf of Mexico and subsequent uncontrolled release of oil and natural gas from the sea-bottom, the Committee commented on a number of apparent deficiencies in well design. [...] In a recent news report on what occurred in the aftermath of fracking at such shallow depths, Jessica Ernst, a biologist and environmental consultant to the oil and gas industry, reported drastic changes in her water and that of the nearby hamlet of Rosebud to the east of Calgary. [...] Created in the late 1990s to encourage the expansion of oil and gas exploration and development in the province, the OGC is described as a "one-stop shop" for regulatory review and approvals of energy industry projects.74.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lacustrine Shale Gas: Case Study from the Ordos Basin examines the special sedimentation and formation environment based on the actual exploration of lacustrine shale gas. Using the Chang7 black shale of Yanchang formation in Ordos basin as an example, this book deeply dissects the Lacustrine shale geological characteristics and offers fresh insights into Lacustrine shale geochemistry, shale reservoir, hydrocarbon accumulation and resource evaluation. The book not only enriches, develops and contributes to new theories of shale gas exploration, but also contributes to a new research field, lacustrine shale gas exploration. Shale gas is the mixed phase natural gas that includes adsorbed phase and free phase gas. It is accumulated in the rich organic matter in shale. In recent years, with great changes in global oil and gas exploration and energy supply situation, shale gas has attracted a lot of attention, becoming the focus of the energy industry. - Reflects the development of world-leading shale gas exploration technology in China - Analyzes first-hand experimental data and scientific research methods on the geological characteristics of lacustrine shale gas - Systematically discusses the theory of lacustrine shale gas exploration, from source rock characteristics, shale reservoir characteristics, and shale gas accumulation, to shale gas resources evaluation - Provides practical guidance by using the Ordos basin as example
