Expanding Our Shale Gas Assets
Horn River Basin, British Columbia, Canada: Our facilities, which began producing at Dilly Creek in 2007, currently have an operating capacity of about 50 million cubic feet per day (mmcf/d). Expansion is underway and further investments are expected to increase production capacity to about 175 mmcf/d by late 2012.
Cordova & Liard Basins, British Columbia, Canada: We consider these leases to contain high potential shale gas opportunities. We’re in the initial planning and exploratory stages of development.
Exploration Opportunities
Colombia: We have approximately two million acres of prospective shale gas lands located near Bogota – Colombia’s largest gas market. While initial geological surveying illustrates shale gas potential, long term investment decisions will depend on exploration results. Nexen has been operating in Colombia since 1995. Learn more.
Poland: Nexen has entered into a joint venture partnership to explore 10 concessions in Poland’s Paleozoic shale gas play – considered one of the most significant unconventional resource plays in central Europe with over 185 trillion cubic feet of estimated recoverable shale gas resource. Seismic surveys are underway.
