Hibernia, Housing and Health: Some Impacts of Offshore Oil Discovery on an Urban Housing Market

Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health
January 1983

Abstract

Predicting the responses to the possible development of oil in the Hibernia field is complicated by many uncertainties. The experience of Aberdeen and Calgary are not sufficiently similar to provide good demographic comparisons. The technology of the oil and gas industry is subject to rapid change and the particular geology and geography of Hibernia introduce added uncertainties. Nevertheless, the expectation of development has had, and continues to have, major effects on St. John's, Newfoundland, with particular impacts on the housing market.

Résumé

Il est difficile de prévoir les répercussions de l'exploitation du champ pétrolifère Hibernia en raison des nombreux impondérables liés à ce type de project. Les expériences d'Aberdeen et de Calgary sont trop différentes pour servir de base de comparaison sur le plan démographique. La technologie utilisée par l'industrie pétrolifèrem et gazière progresse trés rapidement, et les caractéristiques géologiques et géographiques particulières de Hibernia ajoutent d'autres incertitudes. Néamoins, la possibilité d'une exploitation éventuelle de ce champ pétrolifère a eu et continue d'avoir des effets importants sur St-Jean, Terre-Neuve, notamment sur le marché immobilier.
