The Montney continues to play an important role in Canada’s natural gas and LNG story, and understanding how to develop this resource responsibly requires strong technical insight. As GLJ Ltd.'s Senior Geoscience Advisor Brad Hayes notes, continued technical work in these areas will be increasingly important as LNG exports grow and Canada looks to maximize the economic value of its natural gas resources while minimizing environmental impacts.

“Across water management, seismicity monitoring and carbon storage, the picture is the same: a sustained program of public geoscience, carried out by qualified researchers and funded collaboratively, is delivering continuous improvement in how B.C.’s unconventional gas resources are developed.” Thank you to Resource Works for highlighting how independent, public geoscience is shaping responsible resource development across British Columbia. As Dr. Brad Hayes (GLJ) outlined during our recent Energy Webinar, foundational, data-driven research gives operators, regulators, Communities, and Indigenous leadership the tools needed to make informed decisions for B.C.'s energy future: 💧 Water Management: Detailed aquifer mapping (such as the Peace Project) and deep saline characterization protect freshwater sources and optimize sustainable water reuse. 📊 Seismicity Monitoring: Comprehensive monitoring networks provide the geomechanical insights required to manage risk and continuously refine completion practices. 🌱 Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS): Assessments like the NEBC Geological CCS Atlas identify realistic, long-term subsurface storage solutions—pinpointing 4.2 gigatonnes of median storage capacity in the region. When decisions are grounded in sound science, responsible development follows.
