Natural gas supply in B.C. dramatically greater than original estimates: report
VICTORIA — As British Columbia struggles to launch a proposed liquefied natural gas industry, a new report suggests the challenges have nothing to do with a lack of supply.
A National Energy Board report released by the province on Wednesday said natural gas resources in northeastern B.C., are trillions of cubic feet higher than initial estimates.
The study focused on the Liard Basin, a huge region of northeastern B.C., Yukon and Northwest Territories.
The report said 848 trillion cubic feet of natural gas lies under B.C.’s portion of the basin, up from the previous estimate of 210 trillion cubic feet.
