The focus for the review is western Newfoundland, where fracking has been used for oil exploration in the past, although not since 2004. A moratorium on fracking has been in place in Newfoundland and Labrador since November 2013.
Industry has expressed an interest in participating in the review. Shoal Point Energy has a stake in possible shale oil development in Western Newfoundland and is looking to use the review for public education on the process of fracking and best practices.
