Oil Museum of Canada hosts Virtual Talk about natural gas storage in Lambton

Oil Springs, ON - The Oil Museum of Canada, National Historic Site will be joined by Professional Engineer Jug Manocha on Thursday, November 3 for a Virtual Talk about underground natural gas storage.

Beginning at 7:00 p.m., the Virtual Talk: Hydrocarbon Storage in Geological Formations in Lambton County will discuss the unique, underground natural gas storage reservoirs within Lambton that provide more than 50% of peak natural gas supply in Ontario. Many of the products that are used for making rubber, plastics and propane are stored in subsurface salt mined caverns in the County of Lambton.

“I think people would be surprised to learn the important role that the geology of Lambton plays in the energy security of our region,” said Christina Sydorko, Educational Program Coordinator with the Oil Museum of Canada. “The geologic formations of Lambton are hidden from view, so many people forget about them, or don’t know they exist, but they are a key part of this areas’ past successes and future. They are a truly unique aspect of this area.”

Virtual talks are free, and preregistration is required. Learn more about this event and register online.
