Shale Gas Development in Fort Nelson First Nation Territory: Potential Regional Impacts of the LNG Boom ...

British Columbia is rapidly pursuing the development of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export industry on the province’s Northwest coast. The natural gas required to feed the export industry will primarily be extracted from shale gas reserves in northeast British Columbia, including the traditional t...
