The operating practices complement regulatory requirements and support the Guiding Principles for Hydraulic Fracturing that the Association published in September 2011.

For the longest time, geothermal energy implied deep-seated, super hot (+180˚C) water, brought to the surface to provide heat for space heating or electricity generation. It is the energy behind geysers and hot springs. Think Old Faithful and Banff Hot Springs.

However, according to the Conference Board of Canada, approximately $293 billion need to be spent on infrastructure over the next 20 years to keep the<a class="readMoreLink" href="http://www.centreflow.ca/2011/04/27/investing-in-more-than-just-infrastructure/">Read More...</a>]]></description>

Take for example, the town of Springhill, Nova Scotia. The coal beneath Springhill provided for a thriving industry from about 1870 to 1962.

		<description><![CDATA[It’s all a function of heat and pressure. Coal began as plant remains that accumulated in a moist environment like a swamp or bog. As the bog filled in with sediment, the plant remains were buried. As more sediment accumulated, the depth of burial increased, as did the temperature and pressure.

		<description><![CDATA[How deep is an oil well? The easy answer is deep enough to get to the oil. The average conventional oil well drilled in Western Canada in 2010 was 1,611 metres. That&#8217;s about three CN Towers stacked on top of each other. The deepest well ever drilled in Western Canada was about 5,700 metres or<a class="readMoreLink" href="http://www.centreflow.ca/2011/03/11/how-deep/">Read More...</a>]]></description>

For example, the first barrel of oil was shipped from the Syncrude site in 1978, but it wasn’t until 2008 that reclamation was completed for a 104-hectare parcel and a reclamation certificate<a class="readMoreLink" href="http://www.centreflow.ca/2011/03/09/equal-to-or-better/">Read More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Burning fossil fuels results in emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas linked to climate change. One of the ways of reducing these emissions is carbon capture and storage. CCS involves, capturing the CO2 at the source – large emitters such as power stations or industrial plants. The CO2 is then trucked or piped<a class="readMoreLink" href="http://www.centreflow.ca/2011/03/08/ccs-update/">Read More...</a>]]></description>

Demand for radium, an element often found with uranium, was the initial driver. Radium was used in the treatment of cancer.
