We share the land with our stakeholders. Given the multiple uses of the landscape, both human and ecological, there is an increased expectation for companies to demonstrate a high degree of environmental protection and a drive to implement better land use solutions.

We approach these solutions by integrating environmental mapping, low-impact technology, species conservation and biodiversity consideration into our planning and operational decisions. Some examples include:

• low-impact plowing, rather than trenching, to lay pipe
• centrally located mud tanks that reduce the need to move them when drilling several wells
• non-linear seismic lines to reduce the disturbance to caribou migratory paths
• sponsorship of conservation programs such as Ducks Unlimited
• baseline mapping technology that helps us visualize and identify relationships between environmental and social data in considering the location of operational facilities
• reseeding of disturbed areas with native seed mixes
