Description

Environmental Impact Assessment and associated applications pertaining to the proposed Canadian Natural Resources Limited Pike 2 project (formerly Devon Canada Corporation). Canadian Natural is proposing a new in situ oil sands project in the Southern Athabasca Oil Sands region. To recover bitumen resources from the McMurray formation, steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) technology and diluent co-injection and cogeneration would be employed. The Project would include a central processing facility (CPF), well pads, source water and disposal well sites, pipelines, roads and power lines. The Project is expected to produce up to 70,000 barrels per day (bpd) of bitumen. For more information on the environmental assessment process visit ea.alberta.ca.

Description

The report summarizes observed climatic changes across Canada and Alberta. It briefly discusses the causes of climate change and the methodology for the detection and causal attribution of long-term trends and changes in the frequency or intensity of extreme events. The report summarizes observed and projected changes for more than 30 climate indicators, from the temperature of the coldest day of the year to average precipitation during the growing season. Future simulations are generated using a set of global climate models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project version 5 (CMIP5), under higher (RCP8.5) and lower (RCP4.5) emissions scenarios, statistically downscaled to a high-resolution grid covering the entire province, and to 21 weather stations in Alberta. Local changes in the climate indicators are scaled to global mean temperature increases of +1, +1.5, and +2, +3 and +4OC.

Description

Reports on a CO2 enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) pilot at the Judy Creek Beaverhill Lake “A” Pool, a middle Devonian age carbonate reservoir. Overall pilot performance indicates encouraging results for incremental recovery of oil, hydrocarbon solvent and CO2 breakthrough. CO2 reproduction has been cyclic, lagging CO2 injection, and peak reproduction periods which were somewhat predictable resulted in some operational downtime.

Description

This soil survey report for the Municipal District of Cardston begins with a general description of the survey area. Part 2 contains the descriptions of the principal soils and their respective soil map units. In Part 3, the rationale and actual ratings of the map units for dryland agricuhure, grazing productivity and irrigation capability are explained and displayed. Part 4 describes the areal extent of erosion and salinity within the M.D. and and discusses the impacts of erosion, factors influencing soil degradation and possible management techniques. Appendices include: a brief explanatory section on soil formation and classification for the uninitiated user; analytical procedures employed for determining the physical and chemical properties of the soil series; the areas of the individual soil map units; a glossary of terms used in the report and a key to the soil series used on the soil maps.

Description

This soil survey contains descriptions of the soils of the Brazeau Dam area, stressing the fact that soils, as part of the landscape, are one component of the environment. A brief treatment of the geology, history, climate, and vegetation of the area is presented as background information to a general understanding of the landscape. The complete report consists of the written text and the soil map. Soil units are identified on the map, described briefly in the legend, and treated at greater length in the text. The map units are discussed in terms of the landscapes and environments where they occur within the framework of an ecological land classification. Discussion on use and management of the soils is included. The soil units are rated for various uses including forestry, wildlife, agriculture, recreation, and selected engineering uses.
