Petrobank's Princeton Coalbed Methane Project
|
Synopsis Petrobank and two other companies own coalbed methane rights in the Princeton Coalfield. From 2001 on, residents of Princeton, the surrounding area, and farmers (many organic) downstream on the Similkameen River have objected to coalbed methane development in the coalfield. The company drilled one well in 2005, and a second was postponed because of local protest in 2008. In 2011, Petrobank announced it was abandoning the project. |
