Description

This ministerial order, issued under the Responsible Energy Development Act, addresses the issue of leaving productive wells to be shuttered due to unpaid municipal taxes by requiring the AER to only determine if the producer acquiring the well has paid their municipal taxes above the threshold.

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.

Description

Gas over bitumen occurs when natural gas pools are found above bitumen reservoirs. These resources report on progress made by a joint industry and government committee which was struck to find a technical solution that would allow independent production of both bitumen and natural gas in these situations.
