Dalhousie University will manage a $30 million research project for private companies to explore onshore natural gas. The province says it is working with Dalhousie to set qualifications for companies to drill exploratory wells. The government says it may take equity stakes in drilling companies, which could mean it takes a share of any profits. Premier Tim Houston says, “This Dalhousie research will help us understand what can truly be done safely. It can also ultimately lay out the science-based best practices for gas development that will work in Nova Scotia.”
