“The research not only assists industry in our design and operational planning, but the collaborative approach also benefits other northern stakeholders, including regulators and the public, by making the data publicly available. ArcticNet research provides a vehicle to deliver credible scientific data that all northerners will benefit from.” Mike Peters Manager, Northern Canada Operations Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers

“A particularly valuable aspect of the ArcticNet Program is that it provides a scientifically endorsed mechanism for making the data accessible to regulators and to the public. In this way, all parties can rely on a shared and correct data set when proposing developments and when stipulating regulatory conditions.” Dr. James R. Hawkins, P. Eng.
