Welcome to the Fort Liard Resources Directory - a World Wide Web Site for resource information in the Fort Liard, Northwest Territories area. This project was coordinated by ITI's Minerals, Oil & Gas and ENR's Wildlife Divisions.
Fort Liard is located 37 km north of the NWT/BC border (the 60th parallel). The hamlet lies on the eastern shore of the Liard River and is home to about 500 people.
The area also has subsurface natural gas, boreal forests, and diverse wildlife. In recent years, natural gas exploration activity has increased substantially in the Liard Valley. The activity includes ongoing natural gas production at the Pointed Mountain field to the west of Fort Liard, as well as world-class new production and pipeline development.

This information is relevant to land use planners, the petroleum industry working in the area, resource managers, scientific researchers, environmental assessors, and the general public. This site will more effectively lead these groups to the resource information they require in their endeavours. This site was launched on April 29, 1999. Information is being added on a continuous basis, so please bookmark the site and visit the What's New page often!
Do you have information to contribute to this site? Perhaps a layer for the Online GIS, a pertinent Web site link, or a reference that doesn't appear here? If so, please contact us: Adrienne Jones, Coordinator - Petroleum Geoscience Ray Case, Manager, Technical Support
