Managing our Impact on Available Water Sources

Progress Energy recognizes the importance of water to the communities and regions where we work. We engage our neighbours and other stakeholders regarding respectful and sustainable water use. A responsible and efficient approach to the sourcing, use, transport and disposal of water throughout our operations is essential to our success.

• We meet or exceed the regulatory requirements for safe and sustainable water sourcing
• We track and report stored water volumes and water usage for all of our shale gas operations
• We educate our employees, contractors and service providers to make conscious and responsible decisions that reduce daily water consumption
• We are partners in Geoscience BC’s Montney Water Project, a collaborative effort with Geoscience BC, Industry, and the Government to provide a comprehensive inventory of water sources in the Montney area
• We are researching methods to use deep saline water sources for our fracing processes which could further reduce our demand for fresh water
