Presentation Outline • Introduction to PSAC • Working Energy Commitment • Hydraulic Fracturing Overview • Public Engagement Photo: Trican Well Service
Petroleum Services Association of Canada (PSAC) • National trade association representing the service, supply and manufacturing sectors within the upstream petroleum industry. • Close to 260 member companies, employing more than 80,000 people and contracting almost exclusively to oil and gas exploration and production companies.
Working Energy Commitment • Goals • Communicate the commitment of our members to listen to and openly discuss public concerns about oil and gas development; and • Draw attention to the efforts our members put into mitigating the risk to health, safety and environmental impacts associated with their operations.
Working Energy Commitment Statement of Principles • Operate safely and responsibly • Meet or exceed all environmental standards • Act with integrity • Continually improve our practices and services • Treat all members of the community with respect, dignity and trust

Hydraulic Fracturing Purpose Graphic: CSUR
Hydraulic Fracturing Process • Pump fluid into a wellbore to create enough pressure to crack, or fracture, the rock layer • Causes existing fractures to open or new fractures to be created • Proppant, usually sand or ceramics, helps keep the fractures open to allow oil and gas to flow to the well
