HORN RIVER BASIN AQUIFER CHARACTERIZATION PROJECT INTRODUCTION • Horn River Basin Devonian shale gas play is one of North America’s largest and hottest shale gas “resource” plays – All acreage is subject to intensive development by multi‐leg horizontal wells, each leg stimulated by multiple staged fracs • Large volumes of water will be required –up to 4000m 3 per frac – Spent (contaminated) frac waters must be safely disposed • Deep subsurface aquifers are ideal sources and sinks – Non‐potable water, far below water table and surface waters – Shallower aquifers, such as Quaternary (glacial) paleovalleys, may represent short‐term water sources, but may not be suitable for disposal – Producers do not want to use surface water sources, and cannot dispose of spent fluids at the surface
