Author David J. Hughes in his 2004 book entitled North America's Natural Gas Crisis, predicted that the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin would likely continue to be the main gas supply area in Canada for many years; however, declining production and the likelihood that much of the gas will be diverted to fuel new oil sands plants mean that ...
The Keystone XL Pipeline Project (Phase IV) revised proposal in 2012 consists of a new 36-inch (910 mm) pipeline from Hardisty, Alberta, through Montana and South Dakota to Steele City, Nebraska, to "transport of up to 830,000 barrels per day (132,000 m 3 /d) of crude oil from the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin in Alberta, Canada, and from ...
Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin Most of Canada's oil and gas production occurs in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin which stretches from southwestern Manitoba to northeastern BC. The basin also covers most of Alberta, the southern half of Saskatchewan and the southwest corner of the Northwest Territories .
The lawsuit by the attorney general's office included an antitrust action under state law, and had attracted the close attention of major business groups in Pennsylvania, the nation's No. 2 gas ...
Leduc No. 1 was a major crude oil discovery made near Leduc, Alberta, Canada, on February 13, 1947.It provided the geological key to Alberta's most prolific conventional oil reserves and resulted in a boom in petroleum exploration and development across Western Canada.
The Leduc Formation is a stratigraphic unit of Late Devonian age in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. [3] It takes its name from the city of Leduc, and it was formally described from the B.A. Pyrz No. 1 well in central Alberta, between the depths of 1,623.7 m (5,327 ft) and 1,807.5 m (5,930 ft), by Imperial Oil Limited in 1950.
Part of Canada’s reasoning to produce so much oil and gas in the 21st century is that it’s a stable democracy with stricter environmental and human rights laws than other oil giants that the ...
Biogenic gas is produced at shallow depths by microbial activity. The most prolific biogenic gas deposit in Western Canada is the Southeast Alberta Gas Field (SAGF), which is located in southeastern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin [3] and holds an estimated 1.42×10 12 m 3 of recoverable gas.
