Description

The satellite remote sensing workshop brought the developers and potential clients of these satellite remote sensing products together to collectively identify opportunities for satellite remote sensing deployment in subsequent years. The workshop discussions focused on measurements of wetland, greenhouse gases, and air quality. The outcomes of the workshop will be used to inform how satellites can be used to improve the scientific value, rigour, costs and confidence of monitoring and optimization of monitoring results.

Description

Presents the recommendations from the Oil Sands Advisory Group (OSAG) to the Government of Alberta on innovation as it pertains to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions in the oil sands sector. The recommendations are the second integrated component of the overall set of actions that will be required to effectively implement the Alberta Climate Leadership Plan (ACLP) and achieve the objectives in the plan. OSAG, composed of members from industry, environmental organizations and Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities, was established in July 2016 to advise government on the oil sands aspects of the Climate Leadership Plan and to ensure that the Plan’s initiatives are effective and widely supported.

Description

The primary purpose of this pilot project was to investigate the technical feasibility of tertiary oil recovery by injecting CO2 in zones of the Swan Hills Formation whereby the previous hydrocarbon miscible solvent injection had limited success. A pilot demonstrating that additional oil may be recovered from previously "hydrocarbon solvent" flooded areas would increase ultimate oil recovery in the province. The use of CO2 as the miscible agent would also result in the permanent sequestration of significant volumes of carbon dioxide.
