Canadian Society for Unconventional Gas Information

The Canadian Society for Unconventional Gas (CSUG) is a formal not-for-profit society, registered in the Province of Alberta in 2002. The organization has since been extremely active in encouraging the development of our country's unconventional hydrocarbon resources, focusing on: Natural Gas from Coal; Tight Gas Sands and Carbonates; Shale Gas; and Gas Hydrates; and more recently Tight Oil. CSUG provides the media with information about these unconventional resource sources and strives to increase communication between the unconventional resource industry and the provincial and federal governments, stakeholders and First Nations. To help increase awareness about unconventional resources, CSUG offers presentations at open houses, luncheons, forums, workshops, field trips and conferences, all of which are often technical in nature. In addition, the organization develops materials for a wider audience, with an emphasis on the importance of the unconventional resource industry, its history, operations and best practices. CSUG invites all individuals and companies to join and encourages the participation of government members, First Nations and stakeholders.
