The Montney is a significant geological formation located in western Canada, primarily spanning parts of British Columbia and Alberta. It is known for its rich deposits of natural gas, oil, and natural gas liquids, making it one of the most productive unconventional resource plays in North America. The formation is primarily composed of shale rock, which requires advanced extraction techniques like hydraulic fracturing to access its resources. The Montney formation covers an area of approximately 200,000 square kilometers and has become a focal point for energy companies seeking to tap into its vast reserves. Its development has contributed to the local economy and has positioned Canada as a key player in the global energy market.
