Hinton

Hinton, Alberta, and surrounding area has long been home to oil and gas exploration and activity that have provided employment to our citizens, and economic growth to our community. As well, this work has provided a sense of what lies beneath: The Town of Hinton commissioned a study in partnership with the University of Alberta and Alberta Innovates that sought to determine the volume of energy available through geothermal energy. 

There are 4,000+ wells drilled below 2,500m within a 70km radius of the Town of Hinton, many which have bottom-hole temperatures higher than 140 degrees Celsius. Through research to date and general understanding of the region, Hinton is in the epicentre of geothermal potential from hot water aquifers in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. Hinton’s economy includes coal mining, oil and gas, tourism, a pulp, and sawmill, as well as forestry research and training.
