Session 4 : The Utica Shale: A world-class Natural Gas Field?
Chairs : Robert Thériault and Jean-Yves Laliberté (MRNF)
|
| Production of natural gas from shale gas plays has grown phenomenally over the past decade in the United States. Specialists will look at this new type of deposit, currently one of the most promising in Québec following an announcement made by Forest Oil in early April. Natural gas potential from shale gas plays in the St. Lawrence Lowlands is estimated at several dozen TCF. The results of the most recent developments in this field will be presented. |
