Description

Sets out the procedures to administer and coordinate the operations of the Aboriginal Consultation Office and Alberta Energy Regulator on matters relating to Metis Settlements consultation, in accordance with the directions provided in Ministerial Order Energy 39/2016 and Environment and Parks 16/2016. The Procedures operates as a standing request from the Alberta Energy Regulator to the Aboriginal Consultation Office for advice on whether Alberta has found consultation adequate, adequate pending outcome of the AER's process, or not required, and on whether actions may be required to address potential adverse impacts on Metis Settlement members' harvesting or traditional use activities, under section 7 of the ministerial order, for all decisions made by the AER under the specified enactments.

Description

In November 2005, participants at the Workshop on Geological Storage of CO2 at Princeton University agreed on the need for a common test problem to assess various models to simulate the fate of CO2 injected into the subsurface. Alberta Geological Survey offered to make available the data for the Wabamun Lake area in Alberta, Canada, which were assembled to develop a comprehensive model for studying CO2 geological storage. The Wabamun Lake area, southwest of Edmonton in central Alberta, was selected as the test area because a variety of favourable conditions identified it as a potential site for future, large-scale CO2 injection. Several large, industrial CO2 point sources are in the area, resulting in short transportation distances of the captured gas. Various deep saline formations with sufficient capacity to accept and store large volumes of CO2 in supercritical phase exist at the appropriate depth and are overlain by thick confining shale units. Most importantly, a wealth of data...

Description

This digital dataset is the compilation of an analysis of the in situ stress regime in several regions of Alberta and northeastern British Columbia conducted by Dr. Sebastian Bell under a contract with the Alberta Geological Survey from 1999 to 2004. The dataset includes both new and previously published estimates for vertical stress gradients, minimum horizontal stress gradients, and stress orientation. Understanding the state of stress in the subsurface has always been important in the development of energy resources. The recent development of unconventional oil sand and low permeability hydrocarbon deposits, waste fluid disposal, greenhouse gas sequestration, and potential geothermal energy extraction all require knowledge of the state of stress to operate safely and economically. A lack of understanding of the state of stress in a given project area has the potential to negatively affect the economics of such projects and may expose operators to increased liabilities.
