Montney Formation, Geological formation in British Columbia, Canada
The Montney Formation extends across British Columbia and contains substantial deposits of siltstone, a fine-grained sedimentary rock with distinct mineral compositions.
Dating back to the Triassic period, the Montney Formation developed through sedimentary processes in flood plains and delta environments over millions of years.
Local Indigenous communities maintain strong connections to the lands where the Montney Formation lies, participating in discussions about resource management and preservation.
Modern drilling technologies and extraction methods enable companies to access natural gas reserves within the Montney Formation's complex geological structure.
The formation's distinctive composition of siltstone creates specific conditions that influence surface water flow and vegetation patterns in the region.
