Michael Binnion, President and Chief Executive Officer of Questerre, commented, “Over 25 years ago, we acquired a significant land position in Quebec that ultimately led to our giant Utica gas discovery.

He added, “Winning the first bid round allows us to start building relationships in Nova Scotia—with local communities and landowners, the Department of Energy, and research partners such as Dalhousie University. We respect Premier Houston’s efforts to strengthen the province’s energy security, and we intend to earn our place in that effort.”
Article content
He further added, “Our experience in Quebec gave us more than the subsurface expertise to evaluate a frontier basin. It also gave us a hard-earned appreciation that earning public confidence is as important to developing a resource as understanding the geology.”
