Guest Speaker: Sheri Somerville, Natural Gas Advisor, NB, Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, CAPP

Sheri provided the Petroleum Producers perspective of Fracking in New Brunswick.

New Brunswick requirements very stringent, e.g. a closed system for all fracturing materials required (Water, Propane, Sand compose 89.5 % Chemicals 1.5%, industry to provide lists of chemicals, chemicals approved by Gov’t agencies). Key points, usually gas at 2,000 to 4,000 meters; aquifers at 500 meters, with reinforced casings through the aquifer zone little chance of contamination. Waste water treated to drinking water quality. Fracturing uses a horizontal drilling, greatly reducing number of surface well heads. Gas produced by fracturing in the Sussex area has been occurring for about 10 years with no major incidents.
