What is Fracing? September 18, 2018

Capture

 

Young Professionals in Energy is happy to present its members with an opportunity to learn about fracking. And yes, it is spelled fracing, not fracking. This is a hot topic in British Columbia and Canada these days and YPE wants to arm its members with clear, objective, non-mythical, no hype facts about fracing, and the who, what, when, where, why and how behind it. Our speaker for the evening is a passionate Professional Geologist who has worked in the Oil & Gas Industry, Mining, Radioactive Waste disposal and International Development. He is volunteering his time, and wants all of you to know that he is looking forward to the question and answer period just as much as you are. The location, appetizers and beverages are being provided by our generous sponsor for the evening, CSUR (Canadian Society of Unconventional Resources).
