WRITTEN QUESTION 27-17(5): HORIZONTALLY FRACTURED WELLS IN THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment. For each horizontally fractured well in the Northwest Territories to date:

What was the source of the water used and how much was consumed?

What was the quantity of greenhouse gases emissions due to flaring, and how many days did flaring occur?

What was the amount and composition of each additive used during fracking, and how is the flow of unrecovered produced water tracked underground?

How much produced water has been recovered to date, what chemicals are in the recovered water, how is it being transported and disposed of, and what NWT communities does it travel through?

What monitoring of methane gas leakage from the well pipe stems was carried out and what has been the amount of methane leakage that occurred during and following the fracking operations?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
