The Canol shale play is the name for a region of Canada's Northwest Territories that is being investigated as a potential source of tight oil (also referred to as shale oil).The region centers around the known reserves of conventionally exploitable petroleum at Norman Wells. The Canol pipeline (short for "Canadian Oil") was a small diameter pipeline completed by the US Army in 1944 to help supply conventional crude oil from Norman Wells to Alaska. It was built as a short term project during World War II, and was operated barely more than a year.
