How do we know some of the CBM development difficulties encountered in Wyoming and Colorado will not happen here?
• Each coal basin is unique and Albertas basins are no less unique. • Approximately 94 per cent of the current development involves coals that produce little or no water. • In areas where there may be water, Alberta has a strong regulatory system that addresses the production, use and disposal of both non-saline (fresh) and saline water. For example, saline water is deep well injected, the same as for conventional gas, and is not allowed to be disposed of on the surface.
