Unconventional Shale Gas Development (SGD) has the potential to contribute trillions of dollars to Canada’s GDP over the next 30 years; however, significant questions remain about the environmental and public health risks associated with Hydraulic Fracturing (HF)—the enabling technology of SGD. The “Hydraulic Fracture Simulation and Risk” (HF-SR) research and training program will a) develop new knowledge about the mechanics of HF and b) establish the foundations for a comprehensive Risk Assessment and Risk Management (RA/RM) framework for Canada. Together these goals will inform public policy, enable effective risk assessment, and lead to innovative HF practices, which are more economically and environmentally sustainable.

非常规页岩气开发（SGD）有潜力在未来30年内为加拿大的GDP贡献数万亿美元；然而，水力压裂技术（HF）的环境和公众健康风险仍然存在重大问题。“水力压裂模拟和风险”（HF- sr）研究和培训计划将a)开发有关水力压裂机制的新知识，b)为加拿大全面的风险评估和风险管理（RA/RM）框架奠定基础。这些目标将共同为公共政策提供信息，实现有效的风险评估，并带来更具经济和环境可持续性的创新HF实践。
