Environmental, Social and Governance Issues As investors and the public become increasingly concerned about the environmental impact of fossil fuel production and consumption, it is becoming increasingly difficult for natural gas – the cleanest of the fossil fuels – to gain public acceptance. This session will explore the current dynamics of earning that acceptance, and driving a narrative that highlights the contribution of natural gas to climate goals and ending energy poverty. Moderator: Bryan Cox, CEO, BC LNG Alliance Panel: Cody Battershill, founder, canadaaction.ca Susannah Pierce, director, external relations, LNG Canada Mike Cleland, senior fellow, Positive Energy Chris Severson-Baker, Alberta director, Pembina Institute Recorded September 21, 2020
Joseph Murphy, News Editor of Natural Gas World, brings us an overview of the latest main developments impacting the natural gas world.

Market Access There was a time when the gas business in western Canada was “easy”: explore for it, drill for it, produce it, and sell it to the US. Since the shale gale blew through North America, however, much has changed: western Canadian producers have discovered a vast new resource. New drilling and completion technologies allow them to produce this new resource. But infrastructure has been slow to respond to this new resource, and western Canada is now at the wrong end of a very long value chain, and its producers are forced to accept low prices to sell their gas into saturated North American markets. This session will discuss how to enhance access to new and emerging markets, both in North America and abroad. Moderator: Dale Lunan Panel: Tracy Robinson, EVP Canadian Gas Pipelines, TC Energy; President, Coastal Gas Link Dale Nally, Associate Minister, Natural Gas And Electricity, Government of Alberta Hal Kvisle, Alberta Natural Gas Advisory Panel Dale Friesen, Sr VP, ATCO Recorded on September 28, 2020
Shale Gas Running Room The Montney, straddling the border between northeastern BC and northwestern Alberta, has established itself as one of the premier shale gas resources in North America, rivaling such great basins as the Permian and the Appalachian in the US. But western Canada has much more to offer, from emerging liquids-rich plays in the Duvernay to established and growing plays in the Deep Basin. This session will draw on some of Canada’s top shale gas developers to discuss just what the potential might be.
