Call for Applications

Cutting Edge Technologies for Optimizing Oil and Gas Asset Retirement

Showcase your organization’s best practices or technologies for efficient retirement of oil and gas assets!

Successful applicants will be given a segment in an hour-long video seminar to showcase how their organization, product, approach, technology, or digital application results in improved outcomes in the environmental management of legacy oil and gas assets. Participation is free!

BACKGROUND

While estimates vary, the number of oil and gas wellsites and associated facilities in the western Canadian provinces that require reclamation is between 150,000 and 200,000. The importance of decommissioning and regulatory closure of these sites has recently been highlighted by industry and both federal and provincial governments. Drivers to complete this work include reduction of financial liability, ecological restoration, and return of land to productive use (or reuse).

Enabling operational efficiencies in asset retirement has been identified as a key area of opportunity for the energy, environmental and clean technology industries. Implementing best practices that also contribute to greater sustainability in the work conducted, and leveraging leading-edge technologies, have been shown to drive these operational efficiencies, and an online seminar is being developed to showcase leading-edge approaches and technologies. Seminar development is being led by InnoTech Alberta in collaboration with Acden Vertex and other key industry stakeholders. Development is being funded with federal financial support and is therefore free for both contributors and participants.
