The Laird Basin may be one of the largest shale gas resources in the world and Canada's second largest known gas resource, according to a newly released report

摘要

The claim was made in a joint report from the National Energy Board, the British Columbia Oil and Gas Commission, the Yukon Geological Survey, the Northwest Territories Geological Survey and the British Columbia Ministry of Natural Gas Development. According to the report, the Liard Basin is expected to contain 219 trillion cubic feet of marketable, unconventional natural gas, making it Canada's second largest gas resource behind the Montney Formation (449 Tcf) to the southeast in British Columbia and Alberta.
