A business audience in Saint John hearing about the exploration plans of SWN Resources Canada at a Board Of Trade breakfast.
The company made a discovery in Arkansas which now employs over 11, 000 mostly local people.
General Manager Tom Alexander tells CHSJ News it's too early to predict how much natural gas may be found in this province.
He says each location can have 20 wells and in Arkansas they had 500 locations but he says there are spread out to minimize impact.
Alexander says a lot of the concerning the impact of fracking to find gas deposits is just plain wrong. He claims the film "Gasland" which is very critical of the industry is made by a filmmaker and not a documentarian.
