Natural Resources committee  The Geological Survey of Canada is.... I apologize. The Geological Survey of Canada...

Natural Resources committee  I really do apologize. I was visualizing the question. Since the founding of the Geological Survey of Canada in 1842, this scientific body has produced basic geological data which is fundamental to understanding sedimentary basins in Canada. One of the research topics included in this fundamental geological data is an evaluation of hydrocarbon potential.

Natural Resources committee  There are two aspects to your question. The first one is the intensity of that fracturing event--how destructive it can be and how big it can be. As Dr. Boerner was saying, the industry is putting seismographs in adjacent wells to record the earth movement at the time of fracturing.

Natural Resources committee  Thanks for your question. “Tight gas” is some kind of a conventional reservoir that is characterized by very low permeability and porosity. So you need to fracture that conventional reservoir, because the reservoir is different from the source.... That's how we distinguish conventional from unconventional.
