The Noel Project: Responsible Resource Development
BP Canada Energy Company has significantly reduced the environmental impacts of a project in the Noel area of British Columbia.

Carbon reductions involved a near-zero emissions well site design using solar energy and electrifying compressors where 84 per cent of the power is hydro-generated. Ecological reductions included reducing the number of wells and pipelines, drilling multiple wells on a single lease site, and use of a water storage system collecting spring-run off and drawing from underground aquifers.
