CLRA Alberta Annual General Meeting
You may already know that five collaborating organizations, including InnoTech Alberta, Ducks Unlimited Canada, ECCC – National Boreal Caribou Knowledge Consortium, NRCan - Canadian Forest Service, NAIT - Center for Boreal Research joined forces to develop the Canadian Conservation and Land Management Knowledge Portal (CCLM). Launched in April 2020, the website was designed to provide an accessible and centralized place to share conservation and land management (reclamation and restoration) resources from across Canada and is now home to nearly 1000 resources.

Read MoreTo support continued improvements in decision making, we’ll provide an update to our Petroleum Technology Alliance Canada (PTAC) initiative: Review of Phase 2 ESA data from past drilling waste disposal locations to better understand the effectiveness of the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) document “Assessing Drilling Waste Disposal Areas: Compliance Options for Reclamation Certification” (Compliance Options, AER 2014). North Shore and Waterline collaborated to determine if the Compliance Options: are appropriate as currently written; require adjustment to reduce false positive or negative triggers for Phase II ESAs; or are in need of other changes. Stage 1 (Data Collection), Stage 2 (Data Analysis) and Stage 3 (Draft Report) have been completed.
The intent of this presentation is to provide insight and guidance on improving decision making with respect to evaluating drilling waste disposal risk. We’ll provide an overview of the results and suggested recommendations to make the Drilling Waste Compliance Options more effective.
