People not convinced by argument for fracking: NDP

He especially liked the fact that the NDP environment and conservation critic talked about how Lone Pine Resources Inc., a U.S. fracking company registered in Delaware, which wanted to frack for gas under the St. Lawrence River in Quebec, has threatened to sue Canada under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) because of Quebec’s moratorium on fracking.
He said the company is saying this moratorium is violating the oil company’s right to frack and it’s demanding $250 million in compensation.
In October of 2013, groups such as the Council of Canadians, the Sierra Club, For Love of Water (FLOW), Eau Secours!, and AmiEs de la Terre were gathering signatures for a letter to Lone Pine urging the company to drop plans to sue Canada.
It was at that time the groups discovered that Lone Pine had quietly filed a request for arbitration indicating the company was moving forward with the NAFTA lawsuit.
Murphy said Saturday the proposed Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between the European Union (EU) and Canada would grant energy companies far-reaching rights to challenge bans and regulations of shale gas development, such as fracking.
“I think Mr. Murphy is showing great concern about hydraulic fracturing and I’m glad he brought to everyone’s attention these facts about NAFTA and CETA and how, through them, the rights of the corporation are protected rather than the rights of the people who live here,” said Kathy Marche, a resident of Kippens and a member of the Port au Port/Bay St. George Fracking Awareness Group.
Stewart, one of nearly 70 who attended the event, entitled People’s Frackdown 2, said it was nice to see Murphy explain the issues with NAFTA and CETA because he strongly opposes this proposed hydraulic fracturing process.
Stewart said people in the area should be careful of who they vote for during the next provincial election to deal with this fracking issue.
“We need someone who is going to be trustworthy and have our best interest at heart,” he said. “We need less secrecy from our elected officials and a matter as serious as fracking should be able to be voted on by the people.”
Stewart said, as a worker in Alberta who gets out to oil sites, he doesn’t trust a thing that oil companies say.
“For them it’s anything for profit with little care about the environment.”
Murphy, the NDP MHA for St. John’s East, has been active in the political fight that resulted in the province implementing a moratorium on fracking in November.
He said his role is to give people a voice in the House of Assembly and make sure they can put a face to the issue.
In early November of 2013 Natural Resources Minister Derrick Dalley declared a moratorium on fracking in the province. He announced government will not approve fracking onshore and onshore-to-offshore hydraulic fracturing pending further review and government would be doing public consultation before it develops any policy for fracking.
Murphy said even though the moratorium is on, there is a lot of distraction with the Tory leadership, so the NDP hopes to make sure the issue stays at the forefront.
“We want to make sure that if government is going to have that review, that it’s going to be an independent review so government can keep their hands off it,” Murphy said.
“Also, to make sure it’s totally scientific,” he added.
Murphy said the NDP would like to see a strengthening of environmental regulations and a full disclosure of chemicals used in fracking.
“If it’s going to be an unsafe process here, particularly when it comes from a worker’s point of view, along with health and the protection of water, then it can’t be allowed to happen,” he said.
Murphy said if people in the province begin hearing of the quality of water being compromised, it’s certainly a good basis to not do fracking at all.
“There are a number of views here, but the biggest view is that (the government) has not convinced us yet of a valid argument for fracking,” he said.

Things just keep sliding downhill.
Province is not entertaining any applications to Frack.
http://www.vocm.com/newsarticle.asp?mn=2&id=41631&latest=1
Kathy Dunderdale says the province is not entertaining any applications to frack. In November, the province announced a temporary ban on fracking pending a review of the controversial oil extraction method. The Premier was responding to statements by Shoal Point Energy who, after losing a bid to extend an exploration license, laid partial blame on the province for 'changing the regulatory environment'.
Dunderdale says the company had applied to drill using conventional techniques but also wanted to reserve their right to frack. She says until a proper review of the controversial method of extracting oil is complete, there will be no hydraulic fracturing in the province.
Dunderdale says when it comes to conventional drilling it is up to the C-NLOPB to make a ruling and in this case they have.
1st of many Frackdown Events
With about 45 people in attendance at the first-ever “People’s Frackdown” in Stephenville, Newfoundland on Thursday, facilitator Joe Wiseman vowed this will be the first event of many.
A “frackdown” is an event to challenge hydraulic fracturing, or fracking — a technique that uses millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals to break open shale rock deep underground in order to extract gas.
Kenny (Mutchie) Bennett, a Qalipu First Nation member, attended the event, held in support of people who are trying to stop fracking in New Brunswick.
“Spontaneous events like this will really keep things going when it comes to getting the word out about fracking and its effects on the environment,” said Bennett.
“It’s wonderful someone other than the fracking awareness group arranged this.”
With the government taking a break and it being off-season for the oil companies, said Bennett, it’s good to see that people who really care about the land aren’t going to sleep on this issue over the winter.
He thinks it’s sad that some families are split over this issue and it’s disheartening to see it come down to people disrespecting each other.
“It’s wonderful the United Church is taking a stand on this issue and it would be nice if other church leaders would get involved and maybe organize their own events,” he said.
Rev. Kathryn Vance of the First United Church in Stephenville was a co-facilitator of the event.
In addition to having a number of people who are associated with the Bay St. George Fracking Awareness Group address those on hand, there were a number of protest songs sung and petitions signed, and the event ended with a sacred circle, led by Bennett.
Wiseman said he got involved because, to him, the science is clear. While he’s not a scientist, Wiseman trusts David Suzuki when the noted Canadian environmentalist speaks about the dangers of hydraulic fracturing.
“It’s not ‘maybe.’ The science has been done and there is no need for governments to be studying if hydraulic fracturing will destroy our environment — it does,” Wiseman said, adding politicians will listen to voters and if voters say, “stop the fracking,” politicians will stop it.
He said multiple jurisdictions have banned fracking and one of them is the poor nation of Bulgaria, which recently moved ahead with a ban on the practice.
Wiseman said France, a western industrialized nation that needs oil as much as any nation, has banned fracking as well.
“What is Canada waiting for?” he asked. “It’s time for a nationwide ban on fracking in this country, too.”

Company looking to frack in western Newfoundland to lose licence and $1 million
Shoal Point Energy, a promoter of fracking for oil in western Newfoundland has revealed a damaging regulatory loss — one it is largely laying at the feet of the provincial government and the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board (CNLOPB).

In a statement issued Thursday night, the company revealed it will be losing one of its exploration licences in the region, along with a $1-million deposit it put down for the permit.
The licence, known as EL 1097R, covers access to an area of about 500,000 acres, reaching from just off Corner Brook, up the coastline to off Gros Morne National Park.
Offshore exploration licences are awarded by the CNLOPB with requirements for specific activity, required spending on oil exploration, within set dates. The measure is meant to ensure that companies do not simply sit on permits, keeping others interested from being active in the area.
According to its own statement, Shoal Point Energy had yet to live up to its commitments within the area to which it has now lost access.
The company states it has not been able to move forward because of delays by the provincial government in providing guidelines for an environmental review of suggested projects.
It also says the CNLOPB rejected a proposal put forward that would allow for an extension on part of the company’s licence, leaving out the area around Gros Morne park. Complete loss of the existing licence and deposit “due to a change in the regulatory environment beyond its control” would be unfair, the company suggested, offering $250,000 for the partial renewal.
High and costly expectations
The EL 1097R licence was to be stripped from Shoal Point Energy in January 2013 but, at the request of the company and with a fresh cash commitment, the CNLOPB awarded a one-year extension, giving more time to get an exploratory project up and running.
The one-year timeline was despite the fact any onshore to offshore drilling program would be the first of its kind for the province.
It was also despite the fact the company’s suggested projects had been met with fierce opposition from people living in the region and anti-fracking groups with further reach.
The idea of drilling onshore to offshore and fracking in areas adjacent to Gros Morne National Park were particularly controversial, drawing cautions and pointed questions from otherwise unengaged groups and individuals.
“We are disappointed by this decision.” — Mark Jarvis, CEO of Shoal Point Energy
Not finished yet
Shoal Point’s lost licence is one of three it holds in western Newfoundland and the largest.
The area covered by the company’s licences totals about 720,000 acres, according to the latest statement. Of that total, EL 1097R covers about 500,000 acres.
As of Jan. 15, 2014, as a result of the CNLOPB’s decision, Shoal Point Energy’s exploration acreage will be cut to about 220,000 acres, confined to the areas known as EL 1070 and EL 1120.
“We are disappointed by this decision,” said Mark Jarvis, CEO of Shoal Point Energy, on the rejection of the proposal for a partial licence renewal.
“We feel that our proposal recognized and respected the importance of Gros Morne National Park, a UNESCO world heritage site. Our proposal balanced a desire to protect this unique and beautiful park with a desire to safely and responsibly develop a much needed economic opportunity on the west coast of Newfoundland.”
The statement followed a move by the company to halt trading of company securities. It is listed on the CNSX exchange under the symbol “SHP.”
While Shoal Point Energy maintains access to two offshore licence areas, it still faces a regulatory issues.
In early November, the government of Newfoundland and Labrador put a roadblock in the way of the company’s stated long-term plans — announcing applications for onshore or onshore-to-offshore oil projects involving fracking would not be accepted.
The moratorium on fracking has no set end date.
Other companies that have suggested projects involving fracking have, at least for the near term, re-focused their planning on more traditional onshore drilling projects, with no fracking involved.
More local bad news for Shoal Point Energy Ltd.
I bet they won't be updating shareholders on this bit of news, we have to do our own digging to find out what they are up to or not up to.
http://www.vocm.com/newsarticle.asp?mn=2&id=41605&latest=1
The offshore petroleum board says it considered and rejected three separate proposals from Shoal Point Energy to extend an exploration license on the west coast. The company is looking to extract oil using hydraulic fracturing at a number of locations from the Port au Port Peninsula to Gros Morne. In a release late last night the company said a decision by the C-NLOPB was costing them the largest and greatest potential for recoverable oil, along with the one million dollars it cost to apply for the extension. VOCM's Danielle Barron reports.
In a statement the C-NLOPB says the board considered that the license was issued based on conventional exploration work. The board says nearly eight years after the initial license was issued, minimal exploration has been undertaken. The C-NLOPB says the proposal by Shoal Point didn't identify a plan to proceed with activity to fulfil the drilling obligations, but instead identified 'a physical and legal impossibility to undertake a drilling program'. Because the company didn't meet the requirements of its last license extension, the board says it chose not to exercise its discretion to allow for another extension.
Effective Jan. 15, the company's total exploration acreage will be reduced from approximately 720,000 acres to just 220,000 acres. Prospective oil resources will be reduced from over 956-million barrels on three licenses to 202-million barrels with two licenses.
Do they do anything right?
its very bad and looks to remain so for a long time.

Shareholders Meeting June28-
We have today mailed materials for a shareholders meeting to be held on 28th June 2013 in
Toronto. At that meeting Brian Murray, Director and Chief Financial Officer, and Don Sheldon,
Director will not be seeking re-election to the Board. George Langdon, President has also agreed
to step aside at that time, but he will continue to provide his invaluable geological expertise to
the joint venture and remains a significant shareholder in the Company.
It is proposed that the vacancies to the Board will be filled by Mark Jarvis and Eric Schneider.
Mark Jarvis was formerly Director responsible for Corporate Finance at Ultra Petroleum, as it
developed a significant unconventional gas deposit to the benefit of its shareholders, and is CEO
and President of Hard Creek Nickel Corp. Eric Schneider is a Partner in the law firm Miller
Thomson LLP of Waterloo, Ontario, and was formerly Vice-President, Secretary and General
Counsel with Schneider Corporation. Immediately following the Annual Meeting Mark Jarvis
will be appointed President and CEO of SHP. We believe that these two appointments will add
considerable strength and expertise to the Board as the Company moves to the next stage of its
development.
Norman Davidson Kelly, Chairman said:
In my local News this morning. It would appear someone screwed up. C-NLOPB says Black Spruce Energy Ltd has yet to file the necessary documents required to obtain any approval to drill.

I guess we are waiting to see if they have the local politicians spooked enough to delay drilling. I certainly won't add to my position until I see which way the wind blows.

Not many following this yet, hopefully they have no problems from the locals or government. Here is one Local looking forward to seeing drilling results.
Go SHPNF!!!!!
Why would the company apply for a TSX listing if they didn't have advance knowledge of good things ahead? That would be a waste of resources.
I do believe it is more of a local thing. Regarding permits and offshore drilling licenses. All we can do is hope. Regardless the cheap share price right now is well worth the risk of the potential this company has
If the Canadian federal government has allowed Hibernia and the Alberta tar sands projects to proceed, what unwarranted precedence would they have to stop Shoal Point?
It may be different at the local level, though.
Assuming the oil is there and the government allows them to drill and the working interest they will have to get it rolling
