Activity in the upstream sector of the natural gas industry involves the following processes:
- Exploration and site selection
- Well pad preparation and drilling
- Completion
- Production
- Water recycling
- Site reclamation.
These processes are shown effectively in a series of videos filmed in the United States. The processes are virtually the same here in British Columbia. Use of these videos is offered in the absence of a similar British Columbian
or Canadian resource. The videos are the property of Chevron or Chesapeake Energy Corporation and are posted for public and educational use on YouTube.
