• Mass balance approach

• Input (precipitation) = output

(runoff, evapotranspiration,

ground water recharge)

• Correlate flow conditions with

watershed characteristics

• Estimate condtions in ungauged

watersheds using correlation.

• Flow statistics from existing

ground water wells

• Drift thickness mapping to

provide context for potential

unconsolidated aquifers

Characteristics influence:

• Runoff

• Infiltration

• Evapo-transpiration

• Canopy interception

• Temperature

• Snow vs rain

• Evapotranspiration

• Precipitation

• Timing

• Amount

• Warmer, wetter

• Changes in timing and amount

of precipitation -> impacts on

The Montney gas play, in northeast British Columbia is a world-

class unconventional natural gas resource. The tight siltstones and

shales of the formation require horizontal drilling and hydraulic

fracturing to liberate the gas. As operations transition into devel-

opment drilling, the demand for water sources and deep sites for

disposal of fluids increases.

WHAT IS THE MONTNEY PLAY?

MONTNEY WATER PROJECT OVERVIEWThe Montney Water Project was designed to provide a comprehen-

sive inventory of water sources and potential zones for deep

geological disposal sites in the Montney gas play area. Phase 1 of

the project focused on collecting, analyzing and interpreting

available water-related data. This phase included three general

topics:

1. Surface water

2. Shallow subsurface water - Quaternary and shallow bedrock

3. Deep bedrock water and disposal

The surface water component included collection of a variety of

publicly available data; climate, hydrometric, lake volumes, vegeta-

tion and land use / land cover.

Most of the Montney play area is covered in glacial sediments

which vary greatly in thickness. The first priority of the shallow

subsurface component was to compile existing mapping and data

and work towards a drift thickness / bedrock topography map.

The deep bedrock water and disposal component was completed

by Petrel Robertson Consulting Ltd. and Canadian Discovery Ltd.,

and is not included on this poster.

MONTNEY WATER PROJECT PARTNERS

Geoscience BC and its seven industry partners, ARC Resources Inc.,

Conoco Phillips Canada, Devon Energy Corporation, Encana Corporation,

Progress Energy Resources Corp., Shell Canada Ltd., and Talisman Energy

Inc. provided funding for this project. In addition, the B.C. Oil & Gas Com-

mission contributed funds through SCEK. Funding supported work un-

dertaken by the B.C. Ministry of Energy, Ministry of Environment and Min-

istry of Health Services, the Northern Health Authority, and the Kiskatinaw

River Watershed Project being undertaken at the University of Northern

British Columbia, in partnership with the City of Dawson Creek.
