Stimulating

Stimulating natural gas and oil production by hydraulically fracturing horizontal wells doesn’t pose a big risk for triggering earthquakes that are strong enough for a human to feel, but other types of energy-related activities could make the ground noticeably shake, according to the conclusions of major government science report released on Friday.

While stimulating research on substitutes and new processes, natural gas prices are not yet high enough to make Alberta oilsands developers blink. Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. is going ahead on the next bitumen mega-mine in northern Alberta, while acknowledging gas will be a major continuing expense.
