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

The Gas Re-Injection and Production Experiment (GRIPE) pilot project was originally proposed by Paramount Resources Ltd in 2004 as a possible technical solution to recover shut-in gas reserves in the Surmont Gas-over-Bitumen area. The concept of GRIPE is to test a method to produce shut-in gas pools by injecting exhaust gases and producing remaining gas while maintaining reservoir pressure.

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.
