CONTEXT

Conventional concerns The oilsands and shale gas may dominate headlines, but the conventional industry is contending with its own set of unique environmental challenges

Compared to an oilsands mine or a multistage fracking operation, flare stacks and pumpjacks might seem like small concerns. But the environmental challenges of conventional oil and gas producers are no less significant than those faced by their bitumen-bearing brethren. Flaring, in particular, has long been an issue with the conventional industry, with one year of healthy reductions followed by another of increased waste. In fact, 2012 marked the third consecutive year of increased flaring and venting of solution gas in Alberta.

Environmental Innovations Guidebook VOL. 2

Last fall, the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) reported that 34.7 billion cubic feet of gas had been flared in the province in 2012—a 24.6 per cent increase over the previous year. The news was troubling enough to introduce stronger flaring regulations earlier this year, granting the AER power to impose mandatory conservation measures on projects, regardless of the cost to producers. That is merely the tip of the industry’s emissions concerns, however. Taking into account conventional and unconventional production, transportation and power plants,

the energy sector accounted for 81 per cent of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2012, according to Environment Canada. Emissions from mining and oil and gas extraction alone grew fivefold in the 19902012 period. Much of that increase can be attributed to the oilsands, but the government notes that the conventional industry has also grown in that timeframe. Indeed, the emissions intensity of each barrel of conventional oil has actually increased with the introduction of more complex production techniques like

CONTEXT

horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. Fracking also lies at the heart of the industry’s most pressing water usage challenges. The controversial technology—which requires more water than traditional production methods—reused only 33 per cent of its water consumption in 2012, according to the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP). The rise of fracking has surely contributed to the industry’s growing freshwater withdrawals in western Canada, which CAPP estimates increased from 28.4 million cubic metres in 2009 to 34.2 million cubic metres in 2012.

Water—and for that matter, land— can also be impacted by spills near any pipeline or production site. Those concerns will likely not fade in the near future as proposed pipeline projects to the east and west promise more potential for spills on land and increased tanker traffic off the country’s coasts. In addition, the rise of rail transportation also carries its own risk of spills—or worse, as the explosion in Lac Mégantic, Que., proved last year. Conventional oil and gas wells, though modest in size compared to an offshore drilling rig or oilsands mine, still disturb land and affect wildlife

habitats, particularly when factoring in the roads to access drilling sites. In Natural Resources Canada’s most recent figures, the country’s oil and gas industry was responsible for 11,100 hectares of deforestation in 2010— second only to agriculture. And the impacts don’t simply disappear when the drilling stops. Abandoned wells must be reclaimed, which has proven increasingly challenging as the industry grows. The Alberta government says that an average of 4,177 wells per year were abandoned in the province from 2003-12, while an average of 1,721 were certified reclaimed each year.

CONTEXT

An unconventional truth The oilsands industry faces numerous environmental challenges, and is making strides to overcome them

Environmentally sustainable oilsands development isn’t just about being good stewards. It is also about the bottom line, which carries significant economic weight, not only for the industry itself, but also for Canada and its provinces. The biggest challenge the oilsands sector has faced in recent years, expanding market access, is inextricably tied to its environmental performance, both in terms of misguided perceptions and real areas for improvement. The rise of tight oil production in the United States has caused Canada’s main existing market for crude oil—the U.S. Midwest—to become saturated. The corresponding drop in revenues

has hit producers, their supply chains and government royalty programs hard. Efforts to build new large export pipelines continue to face regulatory delays, stymied by public opposition largely due to the real and perceived environmental impacts of the oilsands industry. “The fundamental part about market access is making sure we can dispel myths in the marketplace and let people know that this is oil they can count on, and it is going to be developed in a responsible way,” says Richard Masson, chief executive officer of the Alberta Petroleum Marketing Commission, which is responsible for implementing the province’s Bitumen Royalty in-Kind program.

Environmental Innovations Guidebook VOL. 2

There are many good news stories to tell regarding the industry’s performance in air, water and land management, including the formation of Canada’s Oil Sands Innovation Alliance (COSIA), one of the largest collaborative groups in industrial history, anywhere. COSIA, which is made up of 14 of the largest oilsands producers representing almost 90 per cent of oilsands production, focuses on four areas of environmental performance with the goal of accelerating significant improvements: tailings, water, land and greenhouse gases. To date, COSIA says its member companies have shared 560 distinct technologies and innovations that cost over $900 million to develop—numbers that

CONTEXT

are increasing as the alliance matures and expands. A key component of COSIA’s recent initiatives has been the development of a “statement of ambition” for each of its environmental priority areas, which are: • Water: To be world leaders in water management, producing Canadian energy with no adverse impact on water; • Greenhouse Gases: To produce oil with lower greenhouse gas emissions than other sources of oil; • Land: To be world leaders in land management, restoring the land we disturb and preserving biodiversity of plants and animals; and • Tailings: To transform tailings from

waste into a resource that speeds land and water reclamation. “Aspirations allow the companies to coalesce and determine resources necessary to drive to ambitions,” says Dan Wicklum, COSIA’s chief executive. “Nested underneath are quantitative performance goals, [and] we have a very formal process that we’re following to determine what those goals are.” Technologies in the oilsands industry can take take 10 years to go from conception to commercialization, he says. “We are making good pace.” There is undoubtedly a problem with misperceptions of the oilsands industry’s environmental performance,

but the challenge is far from solely a communications issue. “The way the world sees us is defined by our performance. The linkages between stewardship and the reputation of the energy sector have never been more clear,” David Collyer, president of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, has said. “This is not at all about communicating our way out of a problem. It never has been and it won’t be in the future. We certainly need to focus on communications to improve awareness and understanding, but it is essential that this be underpinned by ongoing improvement. In a world that is always moving and changing, we can’t stand still. We have to do better, and we will.”

neW KiD on the block The Alberta Energy Regulator is celebrating its first anniversary. What does it do, and how well has it been doing? By G o r D o N Co pe

tHe aLBerta enerGy reGuLator (AER) officially came into being on June 17, 2013, with the proclamation of the Responsible Energy Development Act. The legislation provides for a one-stop shop for all regulatory functions regarding energy development from application to reclamation under the Public Lands Act, the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act, and the Water Act. “We are a full life-cycle regulator, from cradle to grave,” says Jim Ellis, president and chief executive officer of the AER. “We cover application approvals, oversee build and operations, and follow all the way to reclamation and remediation.” Starting in June 2013, the Alberta government coordinated a gradual transfer of powers and responsibilities. Energy statutes, regulations and staff were the fi rst to be relocated from the old ERCB. In November, responsibilities under the Public Lands Act were allocated. Finally, in March, environmental responsibilities in the Environment Protection and Enhancement Act and the Water Act were resettled under the

AER’s auspices. All in all, the AER’s personnel grew by about 25 per cent, and it now has a staff of approximately 1,000. Several significant changes were also made. A chair and board were established to provide general governance, and a chief executive officer position was created to handle the day-to-day functioning of the AER. Staff members who formerly acted as adjudicating regulators have been replaced with five full-time and six part-time hearing commissioners, all of whom have extensive experience in legal affairs and alternative dispute resolution. In addition, the legislation beefed up the AER’s ability to police the oilpatch. The AER has the following enforcement tools: • more frequent and detailed inspections; • more stringent planning requirements; • enforcement orders; • the authority to shut down operations; • the levying of administrative penalties; and,

ENvIRoNMENTAL INNovATIoNS guidebook vol. 2

• if warranted, prosecution. “There is a whole raft of tools we can use,” says Ellis. “Much of our time is spent on education and compliance, but the prosecution tool is there when it is most appropriate.” Thanks to all these changes, the AER’s responsibility is now quite sizeable—the province contains over 181,000 wells, 415,000 kilometres of pipeline, 782 gas processing plants, nine oilsands mines, over 50 thermal in situ and 200 primary/enhanced schemes, five bitumen upgraders, and 11 coal mines, all of which fall under its remit. How does the new agency enhance environmental stewardship? “Before the AER, the ERCB had some environmental oversight responsibility, as did Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development for air, water, land and biodiversity—everybody had a piece,” says Ellis. “Th is led to gaps and overlaps and a lot of situations that were not integrated and moving towards a common goal. Now, we have one regulator, so it’s much easier to manage accumulative impacts.”

Alberta contains over 181,000 wells, 415,000 kilometres of pipeline, 782 gas processing plants, nine oilsands mines, over 50 thermal in situ and 200 primary/enhanced schemes, five bitumen upgraders, and 11 coal mines, all of which fall under the Alberta Energy Regulator’s remit.

induStry reaction Several years ago, the provincial government launched a far-reaching review, looking at ways to increase its competitiveness through the optimization of regulator opportunities. A wide range of stakeholders, including some from the industry, was asked to air their views. “We were consulted,” says Brad Herald, director of Alberta operations for the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP). “They wanted to create a single regulatory agency to deliver all functions to oil and gas.” CAPP worked with the review committee to help shape half a dozen major recommendations, most of which were implemented. In addition to including the Public Lands Act (under which operators apply for access to crown leases— essentially the right to build roads and clear drilling pads, among other things), CAPP was pleased with the AER’s new responsibilities for the environment. “It’s still early days in regards to the environmental aspect, but one important aspect is that when Albertans have a concern, they can call the AER and not get shuﬄed from one agency to the next,” says Herald.

Bringing all functions under one roof also made regulatory oversight more straightforward for the industry. “Different agencies often had different approaches to issues,” says Herald. “Now you can navigate due process and have a clearer understanding of your rights and consequences.” Have CAPP members experienced any delays due to growing pains over the last year? “There were some issues relating to public land access, but any significant change of the scope that the AER underwent is going to have that,” says Herald. “The AER acknowledged the issues and responded to work through it. When you look at it from a corporate perspective, mergers and acquisitions always have growing pains; public agencies are compounded by their regulatory and legal responsibilities, so they hold our sympathies. The AER handled the transition very well. I would score their efforts highly.”

LooKinG to tHe Future Over the next few years, the oil and gas sector can expect further evolution in

the province’s regulatory climate. “The AER is only one plank of a much wider integration of resource management framework,” says Herald. “You have land and water use, environmental monitoring, policy management integration—they are all changing.” As for the AER, their job is just beginning. “We will move forward into a different way of doing business,” says Ellis. “We will be more protective toward the environment. We will be effective, looking at regulations to make sure directives are still valid. We will be efficient, saving time and money for companies and supplying the public with information.” Credibility is crucial, notes Ellis. “If we don’t have the trust of Albertans, Canadians and the rest of the world, it doesn’t matter what else we do. Alberta has the third-largest energy reserves in the world. We recognize the fact that we have a world-class resource and that we are under global scrutiny; that equals a requirement for best-in-class regulator. Th at’s where our strategy is aiming.”

tHe oiLSandS, Located in northern alberta, is one of the largest hydrocarbon deposits on earth, holding an estimated two trillion barrels of bitumen in place, of which 169 billion barrels is considered recoverable. according to the National energy Board, mining and in situ operators produced 1.9 million barrels per day in 2013; thanks to expenditures of approximately $25 billion per year over the next several decades, that number is expected to rise to five million barrels per day by 2035. Needless to say, an enterprise of such magnitude has tremendous impact on the environment. tailings ponds exceed 130 square kilometres in areal extent and hold an estimated fi ve billion barrels of mature fine tailings. plants, mines and in situ projects all have significant water, particle and gaseous emissions. the aer is responsible for ensuring that operators follow regulations regarding the care and integrity of waterways, land and the atmosphere. shortly after the aer was launched, Canadian Natural resources Limited reported leakage adjacent to its primrose south and primrose east high-pressure cyclic steam stimulation projects near Cold Lake, alta. Bitumen was seeping from the reservoir into a small body of water. the aer

ENvIRoNMENTAL INNovATIoNS guidebook vol. 2

issued a suspension of steam operations within one kilometre of the 40,000-barrel-per-day project and ordered remediation. subsequently, alberta environment and sustainable resource Development (the department created when alberta environment and Water and sustainable resource Development merged), issued an environmental protection order to Canadian Natural to partially drain the body of water and recover over 10,000 barrels of bitumen emulsion. since then, the company has been working to ascertain the origin of the emulsion. “[Canadian Natural] believes it to be a wellbore issue that is causing the bitumen to move to the surface,” says ellis. “We still don’t have the data to show this. once we have the data and the regulator is comfortable with what happened, then we can confidently act. In the meantime, primrose south and primrose east are still closed. they have other steam operations in the region on which we’ve imposed some restrictions and increased monitoring.” the aer is also delaying fi ve in situ project applications while it completes a technical review of shallow steam assisted gravity drainage reservoir containment factors. the projects include tamarack (Ivanhoe energy Inc.), stp-mckay—phase 2 (southern pacific resource Corp.), advanced tristar (Value Creation Inc.), thickwood (Grizzly oil sands uLC) and audet (silverWillow energy Corporation). the agency notes that the reason for the pause is to create prescribed rules for shallow in situ projects that the sector can follow, rather than react on a case-by-case basis.

2. Pipeline safety tHere are aPProXimateLy 415,000 kilometres of oil and gas pipelines within alberta’s borders, and the aer is responsible for ensuring that the design, construction, operation and maintenance complies with the provincial pipeline act. When setting priorities, its inspection program looks at pipeline fluid characteristics, location, line size, failure history and regulatory compliance. all operators must develop and implement integrity management programs, including monitoring and corrosion mitigation. Liquids pipelines must have automated leak detection systems that alert operators to sudden changes. all incidents of damage must be reported to the aer, even if the pipeline does not leak. and if it does, the operator must have an updated emergency response plan in place. thanks to the aer and its predecessor, the erCB, pipeline incidents have dropped dramatically. In 2008, there were 2.1 failures per 1,000 kilometres. By 2012, the failure rate was down to 1.5 per 1,000 kilometres—a decrease of almost one-third. unfortunately, there is always room for improvement. In 2013, the aer conducted nearly 1,400 pipeline inspections and investigations. as a result, 217 high-risk non-compliances were recorded and 37 pipelines were suspended. one of the most egregious offenders was plains midstream Canada. over the course of three years, the pipeline company had 19 highrisk incidents. at the top of the list was a 2012 incident in which their rangeland south pipe failed at a river crossing near sundre, alta. approximately 3,200 barrels of crude escaped

into the red Deer river when a weld ruptured during high seasonal flow. the aer concluded that plains midstream failed to inspect the line annually, did not follow its own pipeline integrity management program, did not apply appropriate mitigation measures when evidence of scour was discovered and failed to heed high-stream-flow advisories that would have reduced the amount of the spill. In July 2013, the aer took the unprecedented step of issuing a global referral, whereby every application plains midstream files with the aer must go the regulator’s chief executive officer for approval, until such time that the aer board is persuaded that the company has improved its process and its responses. “We are continuing to work with the company,” says ellis. “there is an ongoing audit at a very high level with senior executives. We are finalizing it and will get the report out as quickly as we can, so that they can get back to working with us in the way that other companies work with us.” the delay in approvals helps to focus the minds of plains midstream’s C-suite. “time equals money,” says ellis. “Companies like to see routine treatment of applications because non-routine slows everything down. and producers want certainty that they can get their product to market.”

aLBerta HaS tremendouS unconventional resource potential. the aer recently reported that provincial resources in the Duvernay, montney and muskwa formations could top 3,300 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, 58 billion barrels of gas liquids and 400 billion barrels of oil. already, more than 7,700 horizontal wells have been drilled in order to evaluate and produce these resources, with thousands more to come. But unconventional wells also carry their own unique challenges. hydraulic fracturing, in which large amounts of water, additives and proppant are injected into wells under high pressure to fracture the low-permeability reservoirs, faces widespread criticism. environmentalists are concerned that the additives might contaminate groundwater reservoirs. rural communities that rely on water for agriculture worry that the process is using up scarce freshwater resources. In order to regulate unconventional wells, alberta has issued Directive 083, which not only calls for the public disclosure of frac additives, but also addresses wellbore integrity and inter-wellbore communication.

unconventional resources differ from conventional resources in that they cover large areas in which numerous oil companies operate wells, gathering facilities and transmission assets based on their respective acreage. the aer is investigating a new way of regulating large, unconventional resources. rather than considering individual applications in isolation, it is considering shifting to a comprehensive, or play-based, approval process. “Companies have invested $3.2 billion in land leases; there is a huge opportunity there to get in front to assure that the play is competitive and still have proper controls over the accumulative effects on the environment,” ellis says. starting in 2014, the aer will launch a pilot project to develop a template that will guide both the regulator and industry. “We are looking at a pilot project in the Duvernay in central alberta,” says ellis. “We have a team linked to the u.s. Department of energy that is looking at various aspects. Because it is a pilot, we are quite comfortable that we won’t be setting precedents.” the new approach is expected to improve economics and reduce environmental impact. “With a point-source approval, companies end up with their own pipelines and gas plants,” says ellis. “If you can rationalize infrastructure and create corridors for roads and pipelines, it has a much better impact on the land. It makes good business sense, and those who live in the area and [non-government organizations] can understand the cumulative effects. It’s all planned.”

By G o r D o N Co pe

eVery day, SomeWHere in North America, a well is horizontally drilled and hydraulically fractured. The stimulation process, in which millions of litres of water, mixed with sand and additives, are injected under high pressure into the wellbore, is designed to fracture otherwise impermeable formations, allowing the gas and oil trapped within to flow to surface. “Former industry practice was to go into a site, clear 20 acres of forest, then drill a vertical well,” says Mark

Although fracking has been successful at revitalizing the oil and gas industry in the United States and Canada, there are widespread concerns regarding the practice. Environmentalists worry that the additives, some of which can break down into known carcinogens, could potentially pollute groundwater reservoirs. Residents in arid communities worry that using large volumes of fresh water can exacerbate parched conditions. Many jurisdictions unfamiliar

with the practice have issued bans and moratoriums. PSAC heeded the call. “All of the hydraulic fracturing service companies in Canada are PSAC members,” says Salkeld. “We consulted with them to create some talking points, then we went across Canada,

into communities where activities are taking place. We listened to their questions; water and the environment were consistent concerns.”

code oF conduct In late 2013, PSAC issued the Hydraulic Fracturing Code of Conduct for its membership. The code, which hydraulic fracturing service companies agree to follow, outlines standard practices and goals for five key areas: 1. Water and the environment 2. Fracturing fluid disclosure 3. Technology development 4. Health, safety and training 5. Community engagement Much of the code is dedicated to pursuing goals that will improve the environment. “[Research and development] is ongoing to replace old additives with food-grade chemicals and household ingredients,” says Salkeld. “Instead of using diesel, service companies are now using dish soap and guar gum from ice cream.” Freshwater usage is also targeted. “Some companies are using propane, and others saline underground water,” says Salkeld. “Shell has an agreement with the city of Dawson Creek to use their reclaimed waste water.” Efforts are also underway to adopt new technologies that reduce or even eliminate the need for water. Ball-andsleeve systems have been developed

that allow up to 90 sleeves to be incorporated into a single horizontal stimulation. The system cuts down traditional perf-and-frac procedure time by 50 per cent, and cuts water consumption to a small fraction of what is normally used. An Alberta-based company has also come up with a system that uses 50 litres of water and benign organic compounds to frac a well. The mix is placed into the reservoir zone at low pressure. The compound reacts with the reservoir rock, increasing permeability through exothermic (heating) and kinetic (mechanical) action. During a hydraulic frac, 10 per cent or more of the water can return to surface once the well is switched to production mode. Service companies have designed portable equipment that can be used on site to recycle produced water at rates of 50 gallons per minute.

rePortinG Key Just as important, the code requires members to let the public know exactly what is being used to fracture formations. “We have been reporting everything that goes into a hole to regulators right from the beginning,” says Salkeld. “Alberta and British Columbia now mandate the public disclosure of all frac ingredients.” FracFocus.ca, a public website developed in the United States, is now

Producers (CAPP) has also issued the Guiding Principles and Operating Practices code for hydraulic fracturing to its members. “Both codes integrate very well,” says Brad Herald, director of Alberta operations for CAPP. “If you

ENvIRoNMENTAL INNovATIoNS guidebook vol. 2

look at fi rst principles, there is a lot of alignment over the environment and the way we do business.” The two codes also offer a practical solution to proprietary information. “Because companies spend millions of dollars [on research and development] to create specific recipes for each formation, it is considered a trade secret,” says Salkeld. Service companies maintain confidentiality, a long-time practice that has allowed the Canadian sector to achieve success in resource optimization. But the need for greater transparency also means that both operators and service companies must relinquish a certain amount of secrecy in order to validate their social licence to operate. “You have to balance competitive advantage with the public’s right to know,” Salkeld says. After the release of their code, PSAC went back to the communities a second time to fi nd out their reaction. “They were thankful for us coming to talk to them, to offer them the opportunity to ask questions and get answers from subject matter experts,” says Salkeld. “When people understand what we do, they begin to appreciate the effort we go through to make it safe for the environment. We know what we’re doing, and we’re good at it.”

a GLance at the regulatory backdrop for hydraulic fracturing in Canada suggests that while some provinces and territories are charting their own course, there are signs of an emerging common approach. Regulatory developments in Alberta, British Columbia and Quebec highlight a growing trend toward disclosure of fracturing chemicals and increased transparency from stakeholders. While regulatory regimes in Canada’s provinces and territories might appear to be a patchwork of differing rules, closer scrutiny shows evidence of convergent thinking, especially on issues such as fracturing additives. While only Alberta and British Columbia require such disclosure today, Canada’s smaller, less mature regulators are moving in that direction. Here’s a breakdown of where each province currently sits on hydraulic fracturing.

BritiSH coLumBia

SaSKatcHeWan

British Columbia was the fi rst province to require public disclosure of fracturing additives, starting Jan. 1, 2012, a move that has since spread to Alberta, and shows signs of spreading even further.

Saskatchewan’s oil and gas regulations currently do not specifically cite hydraulic fracturing; however, the government is currently rebuilding its oil and gas business processes and systems and will address a disclosure system, like the one adopted by British Columbia and Alberta, in the next two years. Also being reviewed in Saskatchewan is the oil and gas regulatory system’s transparency, including the communication with Saskatchewan residents affected by oil and gas development. The changes being considered would affect not only fracturing, but also such other operations as sour gas production, f laring, venting and horizontal drilling. The province is still consulting on a plan that would widen the area within which residents are entitled to notice for certain oil and gas operations.

aLBerta Disclosure of fracturing additives in Alberta became mandatory in 2013 and operators working in both Alberta and British Columbia now typically use FracFocus.ca to do so. With Directive 083 on hydraulic fracturing issued last year, the Alberta Energy Regulator has regulated wellbore integrity and interwellbore communication, requiring operators to conduct risk assessments and prepare well control plans to manage unintended communication between wells. The rule also aims to minimize surface impacts, and address effects on water wells and aquifers, among other objectives.

In 2012, the Yukon government imposed a five-year moratorium on the issuing of rights after public concerns over fracturing were raised. A legislature committee has now been created to assess the risks and benefits of hydraulic fracturing. In January and February, public hearings were held and Yukon MLAs heard from industry, environmentalists and regulators, such as the BC Oil & Gas Commission and the National Energy Board, among other parties. So far, no draft bill has been released, but hearings have been ongoing.

noVa Scotia Nova Scotia’s moratorium on hydraulic fracturing in pursuit of

oil and gas has been in place since April 2012, when it was announced by the previous NDP government. The independent review, led by Cape Breton University president David Wheeler, is expected to be released in mid-2014. Recently, a Nova Scotia cabinet minister confi rmed that getting an unbiased review is a priority for his government. “I have met with Dr. Wheeler and stressed...this review should be truly independent and open to reviewing information from all sides of the debate,” Nova Scotia Energy Minister Andrew Younger told the Daily Oil Bulletin by email. An “independently led review including public consultation is the best way for Nova Scotia to make the appropriate decisions [about] hydraulic fracturing,” he said.

neWFoundLand and LaBrador Newfoundland and Labrador is the latest jurisdiction to announce a formal review of hydraulic fracturing. It is not clear what form the review will take, and a timeline has not been set.

ENvIRoNMENTAL INNovATIoNS guidebook vol. 2

neW BrunSWicK New Brunswick completed its review of the oil and gas industry, Rules for Industry, in February 2013. While not a specific fracturing review, the study covered the province’s oil and gas industry rules, including those affecting fracturing. The new regulations carry a stricter disclosure regime for fracturing additives. Apart from defi ning the data companies must provide, the new rules outline the risk assessments that well operators must carry out, including applicable timelines.

manitoBa Manitoba’s Petroleum Branch is expected to release a new draft of its oil and gas regulations for review in early 2014. The province’s current regulations don’t specifically mention hydraulic fracturing; however, the topic is covered under the broader category of completions and recompletions.

CaSHinG in on carbon CCEMC offers funding for technologies that turn carbon emissions into usable products By m eL a N I e Co L L I s o N

tHe tecHnoLoGieS VyinG for funding in a made-in-Alberta carbonuse challenge proved so intriguing that the judges decided 24 applicants deserved a $500,000 boost, rather than the intended 20. The Climate Change and Emissions Management Corporation (CCEMC) launched its three-round, $35-million Grand Challenge: Innovative Carbon Uses in 2013 to search worldwide for technologies that will transform a liability into an asset. The challenge’s criterion is to turn one net megatonne of CO2 emissions per year into some form of useful product. CCEMC called on scientists, engineers, researchers, funding organizations and consultants to perform the selection process. Six teams of seven adjudicators reviewed all 344 short submissions, attracted from 37 countries. They whittled the stack to 55 projects, whose developers then had to provide full-project details to be evaluated for both technical and business viability. “Each [of the 24 projects] receives up to half a million dollars to develop their technology,” says CCEMC managing director Kirk Andries. “In two years we’ll do a worldwide relaunch [round two], attract new

technologies and assess the progress of the 24 we’ve already invested in. We will pick the five very best, who’ll be given $3 million and another two years to advance their technology. “The ultimate winner [of round three] will receive a $10-million grant to commercialize their technology.” CCEMC was established in 2009 to manage the fees large greenhouse gas emitters pay for exceeding provincial emissions limits. The not-for-profit’s mandate is to convert those penalties into investments in CO2-reduction programs and technologies, and adaptations to climate change. “We’re here to accelerate these technologies,” Andries says. Besides funding the technology, CCEMC showcases the projects to venture capitalists and corporate investors. “We want to make sure all these projects are advancing. If a dozen are commercialized, that would be a wonderful thing. These are all great ideas.” Applicants that didn’t make this cut are invited to resubmit in round two. “They could jump to the front if they’ve made a bunch of progress,” Andries says. The 24 winners from round one fit into four categories:

ENvIRoNMENTAL INNovATIoNS guidebook vol. 2

• Fuels—Innovative ways to transform CO2 into methanol, syngas and transportation fuels; • Chemical synthesis—Transforming CO2 into high-value chemicals that can be sold or used to create further chemical products; • Solids—Converting and entrapping CO 2 into materials such as concrete products, fertilizers, carbonates and pure carbon materials; and, • Bio-fi xation—Using biological organisms such as algae, bacteria and yeast to sequester and convert CO2 into other products. While the developers can work from anywhere in the world, the technologies must be applicable in Alberta. The idea is to create a market in Alberta for carbon use, since the supply will continue to grow in step with energy demand and hydrocarbon-based energy production. CCEMC is also interested in technologies that can be broadly applied in other countries, however. Of the 24 round one winners, seven are from Canada, 14 from the United States and three from Europe. Descriptions of the projects are available on CCEMC’s website: ccemc.ca.

WoRtH its salt Molten salt gasification could produce cleaner, cheaper hydrogen for oilsands upgrading By J os eph C ao u e t t e

photo: western hydrogen ltd.

SoaP can’t cLean up the oilsands, but a dash of detergent could at least add a bit of a shine to the industry’s environmental record. At a pilot plant in Fort Saskatchewan, Alta., Western Hydrogen Ltd. is exploring a carbonneutral method of hydrogen production known as molten salt gasification. In this case, the salts are

nothing more exotic than sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide—both common ingredients in many household cleaners. Developed by the U.S. Department of Energy, molten salt gasification has come to Canada thanks to Western Hydrogen, which has invested over $12 million into the pilot to date. The process requires as little as a carbonaceous fuel—petroleum

coke, for example—and water. The produced water from oil and gas operations can even be used—its carbon content is actually a bonus. The carbon feedstock and water are injected into a molten salt bath, producing CO2 and hydrogen at pressures of up to 2,000 pounds per square inch. This not only saves on the cost of pressurizing the gases, but it also means the CO2 is ready to be sequestered underground for use in enhanced oil recovery. Last September, the company produced its fi rst hydrogen using asphalt as a feedstock. “The reason we’re running that is because it’s probably the worst thing you could think of to run through here,” says Neil Camarta, president and chief executive officer of Western Hydrogen. “It’s heavy, and it’s hard to handle. So if we can run it on asphalt, we can run it on anything.” And the company plans to put that theory to the test. Once the asphalt trial concludes, Western Hydrogen will move on to natural gas and petroleum coke. Future tests will look at renewable feedstocks, such as algae or glycerol. The equipment easily switches between fuel sources with only minor front-end adjustments, he says. Carbon-neutral hydrogen would be welcome in any number of industries,

including transportation and petrochemical or fertilizer production. But Camarta is an oilsands veteran, with senior leadership roles at Shell Canada Limited, Petro-Canada and Suncor Energy Inc. under his belt. He believes the process could help satisfy the industry’s voracious appetite for hydrogen more cleanly and cost effectively than the current model of steam methane reforming, which requires considerable amounts of natural gas. “When you upgrade oil from sands, take the bitumen molecule and try to make gasoline from it, you have to go through a lot of heavy lifting and it takes hydrogen every step of the way,” he says. By his estimate, over 1,000 cubic feet of hydrogen are necessary to upgrade a single barrel of bitumen. Fortunately, the pilot is sitting “right in the heart of the biggest hydrogen consumption place on earth,” Camarta says. The 255,000-barrel-per-day Shell Scotford Upgrader is just a mile down the road, and petrochemical plants abound throughout the area. All will undoubtedly be watching very closely as Western Hydrogen moves forward with a demonstration project on the same site in 2015.

FuellinG change Several companies are leading the charge in LNG-fuelled transportation

canada’S maJor natural gas producers are building liquefied natural gas–fuelling infrastructure and converting their heavy-haul trucks to natural gas to jump-start the liquefied natural gas (LNG) transportation sector. Encana Corporation broke trail with its fleet conversions and, as far back as 2011, was saving nearly $1 million per month in fuel costs by using natural gas instead of diesel in drilling rigs and company trucks. Now halfway into its program, the company has converted more than 1,300 trucks and passenger vehicles and is saving more than $16 million per year. According to Encana, natural gas is the only proven alternative fuel that can power heavy-duty vehicles weighing more than 13 tonnes. Shell Canada Limited is also now gearing up to field test a conversion program to start in 2016.

Caterpillar Inc., which manufactures Shell’s oilsands mining trucks, is developing an engine that will run on LNG supplemented with diesel—also known as dual fuel. Caterpillar says it expects to leverage its experience with LNG in other applications. Shell will also retrofit part of its existing fleet with the new engine for what’s expected to be a year-long trial. LNG is natural gas chilled to minus 162 degrees Celsius. It has been safely produced and used in heating and power generation for decades, Shell says. The cost savings are an obvious motivator, with natural gas typically costing 20–30 per cent less than crude oil–based fuels. But the environmental impact is close behind. Encana says LNG produces up to 30 per cent less CO2 than oil and 90 per cent less smog-causing particulate matter than diesel. Manufacturing natural gas vehicles comes with a higher price tag than conventional trucks, but technology improvements mean natural gas trucks and buses now have power and performance characteristics similar to conventional vehicles, according to the Canadian Natural Gas Vehicle Alliance. Shell has been building its LNG

ENvIRoNMENTAL INNovATIoNS guidebook vol. 2

program since November 2012 when it signed a five-year agreement to fuel Bison Transport’s 15 LNG trucks. The pact was Shell’s first step in launching its LNG refuelling infrastructure in Alberta early last year, with facilities in Calgary, Edmonton and Red Deer. Shell has a natural gas liquefaction plant at its Jumping Pound facility, 30 kilometres west of Calgary, and opened its first LNG outlet for heavy-duty f leet customers at a Shell Flying J truck stop in Calgary in March last year. Encana’s 19,000-litre-per-day southern Alberta production facility opened near its Cavalier gas plant, east of Strathmore, Alta., in January 2013. It serves long-haul trucks and a Canadian National Railway Company pilot project running two mainline diesel-electric locomotives converted to dual fuel. Near Grande Prairie, Alta., Encana has a 190,000-litre-per-day LNG facility producing commercially as of May 2014. It was built in a joint venture with Ferus Inc., which will be the operator. It’s focused on the high-horsepower industrial market in northwestern Alberta and northeastern British Columbia. Encana also owns and operates two public LNG fuelling stations in Louisiana and 10 mobile fuelling stations serving Alberta and six U.S. states.

The company is installing a fi fth boiler at the tail end of each battery of four steam generators at its steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) operations. The fi fth heats the blowdown, or concentrated brine stream, from the brace of boilers that would otherwise be blown down into a deep well for permanent disposal. In SAGD production, there is a pressing need to increase the amount of bitumen-softening steam produced from a given volume of water while reducing waste water, energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions, and do all this

without ratcheting up maintenance requirements. Standard steam generators are about 80 per cent efficient at converting water intake into steam. The remaining 20 per cent carries the concentration of salts, clays and sands, dissolved organics and residual oil left behind. The contaminated waste water has traditionally been disposed of either through injection deep underground or through evaporation followed by trucking the leftover solids to a wastehandling facility. Typically, blowdown water has to be cleaned before it can be run through a boiler, Cenovus spokeswoman Jessica Wilkinson said in a recent interview. In commercializing its new configuration, Cenovus has demonstrated that cleaning is not necessary. Senior staff water treatment engineer Susan Sun and her research team, and field technology development coordinator Michael Wasylyk and his implementation team have determined they can collect and stream blowdown water untreated straight into the fi fth boiler and reach 70–75 per cent efficiency on it. That gives them 90–95 per cent steam production efficiency in total. The amount of makeup water needed is slashed in half, minimizing the waste disposal, avoiding water

treatment chemical inputs and cutting greenhouse gas production. “The blowdown boiler is the exact same model as the other steam generators we use,” Wilkinson says. “There is no additional maintenance. We inspect all of our steam generators every 18–24 months and the trial tests we did indicated that the blowdown boilers could follow that schedule.” Cenovus builds its SAGD projects in repeatable phases. It has five phases on stream at each of its SAGD projects at Foster Creek and Christina Lake. Each phase is served by a battery for four steam generators to produce 40,000– 50,000 barrels of bitumen per day. At 15 cents per barrel, adding a blowdown boiler to each quad of generators points to savings of $60,000– $75,000 per day on water handling. Besides retrofitting its producing phases, Cenovus is incorporating the innovation into its expansion plans for Foster Creek, to open late this year, and Narrows Lake, which is under construction. “Water management is critical to a successful SAGD project,” Wilkinson adds. “Any time we can improve our steam quality, that’s positive. Any time we can reduce the amount of water we need, that’s positive. What’s good for the bottom line is also good for the environment when it comes to water management.”

Suncor enerGy inc. continues to work toward its goal of reducing corporate-wide freshwater consumption in 2015 by 12 per cent compared to 2007. The company is successfully using about 10,000 cubic metres per day of treated tailings water, pumped 55 kilometres from its base plant north of Fort McMurray to its Firebag steam assisted gravity drainage project. Reusing water stored in its surface mining tailings ponds as makeup water for underground production is part of Suncor’s comprehensive water management strategy across its mining, extraction and upgrading operations, the company says in its oilsands water management strategy. “We have made significant strides in reducing our water consumption,” the company says. “But we are committed to further reducing our water use through internal consumption efficiency measures, recycling and new technologies.” Suncor spokeswoman Nicole Fisher says, “Reusing water from the end of one project’s cycle to another part of its business improves Suncor’s water management practices over a larger geographical area and can reduce overall regional freshwater use.” Reusing tailings water for makeup water in in situ extraction processes is an industry fi rst, and supports

the provincial government’s push to manage water use on a regional basis. Over its decade of production, the four-phase Firebag project has struggled with higher steam to oil ratios (SORs) than originally expected, although the SORs have improved with design and production adaptions. Begun in February 2013, “this initiative optimizes water usage by extending the life cycle of water between operations and reduces regional water demand,” Fisher says. Suncor continues to work on designing more systems to treat and recycle tailings water for use in steam generation boilers. The next piece of its comprehensive plan to be introduced is the $150-million waste-water treatment facility currently under construction. The plant is expected to recycle 8,000 gallons of oily, dirty water per minute. Once it’s up to speed, Suncor will be withdrawing 75 per cent less fresh river water than in 2007. Suncor has already made great strides in reusing produced water at its MacKay River in situ project where it practises zero liquid discharge (ZLD). The company says it has the only fully functional ZLD system in the oilsands industry. MacKay River does not have a nearby underground disposal well of the type where in situ operators typically discard water too saline to be used for steam generation.

Instead, it has worked with GE technology to capture clean water from highly saline sources by means of evaporation followed by crystallization to concentrate the salts. The resulting slurry of mixed salts, silica and organics is then dried into a salt cake for disposal in a landfi ll. The evaporated water is condensed and returned to the steam generators to be injected into the reservoir to soften the bitumen for pumping to the surface. Suncor says more than 90 per cent of the injection steam it uses to run MacKay River is recycled continuously, and it uses only one-sixth of a barrel of subsurface water for every barrel of heavy oil it produces.

“eaSY” does it Suncor’s new radio frequency extraction method means good things for the environment

conStruction oF a large-scale, long-term field test of radio frequency heating plus solvent injection is underway at Suncor Energy Inc.’s Dover in situ site. Known as ESEIEH (pronounced “easy”), enhanced solvent extraction incorporating electromagnetic heating technology is being pursued in the expectation it will markedly reduce the environmental impacts of oilsands production. Instead of injecting steam into a reservoir to soften bitumen, ESEIEH uses radio frequency signals throughout the length of the upper well in a pair. The radio frequency generator creates an alternating electric field that causes molecules in bitumen to continuously reorient to face opposite electrodes. Friction resulting from this molecular movement causes the bitumen to heat and become fluid in the reservoir. The field test will then use solvent

injection to separate the bitumen from the sand. As in steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) projects, the bitumen will be pumped from the lower well. Removing water from the process does away with greenhouse gas emissions from transporting, treating, heating, recycling and disposing of water, as well as the cost of building and maintaining steam generation and water-handling facilities. Power generation facilities could be centrally located, and built on a scale to capture CO2. Operating and maintenance costs are also forecast to be much lower. “There would be an increased need for electrical power, but it would still be less than required for a typical SAGD facility,” Suncor spokeswoman Kelli Stevens said in a recent interview. Data collected at initial phase testing at Suncor’s North Steepbank mine in 2012 was promising, Stevens says. “We’re now testing to see how well injecting solvent works to dilute and mobilize the bitumen.” Suncor is handling communications for the project, which is a joint venture between Suncor, Nexen Energy ULC and Devon Canada Corporation— which stepped into the partnership position Laricina Energy Ltd. vacated last year—and Harris Corporation. Harris is a Floridabased telecommunications

equipment and information technology giant that produces wireless equipment, electronic systems, and terrestrial and spaceborne antennas. The parent company and its subsidiary RF Energy Systems have been developing the technology. At the World Heavy Oil Congress in New Orleans in March, Harris engineers said decades of investigation into in situ RF heating has led to its ability to predict and successfully execute bitumen heating. Harris says its tool for coupled electromagnetic and reservoir simulation (CEMRS) accurately predicts changes in reservoir conditions as well as hydrocarbon production over the life cycle of the well. Because conditions within the reservoir change during production, CEMRS data would determine the range of radio frequencies to use. Radio frequency functions at lower temperatures and pressure than SAGD, making shallow deposits accessible. Harris has developed a monobore architecture for vertical wells that simultaneously performs radio frequency heating, fluid injection and production. It’s expected to be economic in marginal sites where steam is not. To date, $16.5 million of the project’s $44-million price tag has been funded by Climate Change and Emissions Management Corporation.

SteP lightly Monitoring the size and impact of the human footprint in the Athabasca oilsands region By J os eph C ao u e t t e

any mention oF the oilsands will likely conjure up images of yawning open-pit excavations and sludgy black tailings ponds. Considering how much of the oilsands remain undeveloped, one could just as well imagine verdant meadows and babbling brooks. The Athabasca oilsands area— the largest of the three deposits in Alberta—takes up 14 per cent of the province’s land area. Its 93,000 square kilometres cover much of the province’s northeastern corner. In 2010, the human footprint in the area, including all forms of development, covered 6.8 per cent of the region, or 6,300 square kilometres, according to the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI). To put that into perspective, the total area is similar in size to Maine; the developed area is more like Delaware. Surprisingly, the largest marker of human presence in the Athabasca region is not the oilsands, but rather forest harvesting. In a December 2013 biodiversity report, ABMI concludes that forestry has affected 3.1 per cent of the area, compared to 2.5 per cent

touched by energy and mining. The total land area open to in situ oilsands development had a human footprint of 7.7 per cent, while 20.8 per cent of the potentially mineable area had already been disturbed. So far, reclamation efforts have failed to keep pace with development, ABMI says. Oilsands mining activities covered over 76,000 hectares in 2011, but only 104 hectares—a meagre 0.14 per cent—have been certified as reclaimed. Another 4,700 hectares, or 6.2 per cent, have been reclaimed, but must still be monitored further before being certified. ABMI studied over 350 species across the Athabasca oilsands region in order to establish a biodiversity intactness index, which measures how more or less common a species is between disturbed and undisturbed areas. Biodiversity for the entire region is 94 per cent, while it sits at 94 per cent in the in situ area and 86 per cent in the mineable area. That figure drops to near zero within an active mine, the report notes. The report highlights changes already noticed in several animal

ENvIRoNMENTAL INNovATIoNS guidebook vol. 2

populations. Coyotes and song sparrows typically thrive in areas with human development, and both were found in higher-than-expected numbers. At the same time, there were lower numbers for several species drawn to old-forest habitats, such as the marten, fisher and bay-breasted warbler. Woodland caribou, listed as a threatened species under Canada’s Species at Risk Act, also remain an ongoing concern for biodiversity watchers. Provincial government data shows a consistent population decline over the past 20 years, and the ABMI’s fi ndings suggest the species will continue to feel pressure from encroaching development. All six caribou ranges in the Athabasca region showed a growing human footprint in the period between 2007 and 2010, varying from a 2.1 per cent increase in the Red Earth range to a 21.1 per cent jump in the Nipisi. The organization describes this information as an “ecological baseline” to help guide development decisions in the region. Similar reports are already being planned for the Peace River and Cold Lake oilsands areas.

aS natuRe intended Suncor and Syncrude have overcome the impossible in reclaiming northern Alberta’s wetlands

photo: syncrude canada

By J I m B eN t eI N iF you don’t know what a “fen” is, you’re not alone—but Canada’s two legacy oilsands miners certainly know what it is and both have spent many millions of dollars and years developing their own versions of the wetland types. The Wikipedia defi nition of a fen is “one of the six main types of wetland and one of two types of mire (the other being a bog).” The reality is, it normally takes nature thousands of years to create one, since they are characterized by an alkaline water chemistry and a need to be fed by mineral-rich surface or groundwater, and they support a diversity of plant species. And all of that makes it even more remarkable that both Syncrude Canada Ltd. and Suncor Energy Inc. have successfully created man-made fens— something once considered unlikely. A document released by the Alberta government in 2000 declared the duplication of natural wetlands on reclaimed oilsands leases as “impossible due to the complexity of restored systems and the subtle relationships of hydrology, soils, vegetation, animal life and nutrients.” That language has since been changed to “almost impossible.” Of the main types of wetlands (including marshes, swamps, bogs and

As part of its reclamation efforts, Syncrude is pioneering research on the creation of a fen wetland on its original mine site.

shallow open-water wetlands), fens are seen as the most complex because they must be supported by a natural water-flow regime; an ecosystem it was previously thought only nature could create. Despite this, scientists at Syncrude and Suncor have managed to create the Sandhill and Nikanotee fens. “Our goal is to create a fen wetland that has typical fen plants that are carbon accumulating and that is hydrologically self-sustaining,” said Christine Daly, Suncor’s aquatic reclamation research coordinator, who describes the three-hectare Nikanotee Fen, part of a 32-hectare constructed

watershed at its Athabasca mine site, as a “research trial.” It will remain a research pilot project for at least a decade, she says, although so far scientists from five post-secondary institutions in North America who are monitoring its progress believe it is well on the way to duplicating a fen. Since 30–50 per cent of the natural landscape in the Athabasca region is made up of wetlands, wetland recreation will be an important part of Suncor’s reclamation efforts, company officials say. Since Suncor (then Great Canadian Oil Sands) opened its fi rst mine in 1967, its oilsands mining operations

ENvIRoNMENTALSERvICESGUIDEBook.CoM

Daly said she and a wetland reclamation group of about 100 people have plans to create future wetlands, including more fens, marshes and swamps. Syncrude’s Sandhill Fen began development in 2008 when it was fi rst fi lled with ta ilings mixed with gypsum to prepare the landscape. In 2010, it was fi lled with soil and wood debris, along with seeds from local wetlands areas. That was followed by the planting of other plants native to the area, part of what it terms leaf litter–derived humic. The fen is located at the company’s former East Mine site, where mining stopped in 2000. Company spokesman Will Gibson says the 17-hectare fen is part of a larger 57-hectare watershed area. “We’ve recorded 170 species of upland plants, shrubs and trees in the project, despite only actively planting about a dozen species,” he says. The plants, shrubs and trees form a

ENvIRoNMENTAL INNovATIoNS guidebook vol. 2

crucial role in the watershed area, since they help to recharge the soil. “A key part of creating a sustainable fen is water availability, which is why the watershed is so large,” he says. Syncrude has worked with several university experts in creating its first fen, as well as cooperating with Suncor and other miners involved in Canada’s Oil Sands Innovation Alliance, a group of oilsands producers focused on accelerating the pace of improvement in environmental performance. Syncrude’s total disturbance as of early 2013 is approximately 28,000 hectares. Of those, 3,316 hectares have been permanently reclaimed and about 700 hectares have been temporarily reclaimed. Another 1,086 hectares are available for re-vegetation. The company plans to create more fens in the future as part of its re-creation of wetlands on reclaimed lands.

have disturbed about 21,303 hectares of land. As of 2013, the company has reclaimed 1,542 hectares, or about seven per cent of its land disturbance. The company began developing the fen in 2011 and marked its official opening last summer. That followed successful reclamation of the fi rst tailings pond in the oilsands industry to a solid surface, which occurred in 2010. That area, called Wapisiw Lookout, has seen the planting of 600,000 trees.

MovinG target From an environmental standpoint, the pipeline versus rail argument might best be decided by a game of eenie-meenie-miney-mo By m eL a N I e Co L L I s o N

aS PuBLic reSiStance to pipeline infrastructure expansion puts pressure on rail and road systems, a spate of dramatic—and sometimes tragic— incidents has directed attention to the hazards of shipping oil by rail. Unfortunately, the resulting rail versus pipeline debate has no clear winner. According to the Canadian Energy Pipeline Association, pipelines currently move 97 per cent of daily natural gas and onshore oil production in Canada and the United States. With pipelines at full capacity, it is increasingly the Canadian National Railway Company and Canadian Pacific delivering the goods. In 2013, railways transported 160,000 carloads of crude oil—a huge jump from 500 carloads in 2009. Despite the Transportation Safety Board of Canada reporting that rail incidents have decreased over the last decade from 1,500 to 1,000 a year, the recent revelation that another hundred derailments, collisions and runaway trains per year are not even reported is eroding confidence in the tracking system, at least until explicit new reporting rules come into effect July 1. If the rail versus pipeline decision were purely economic, pipe would win,

according to Canada West Foundation economist Michael Holden in Pipe or Perish: Saving an Oil Industry at Risk. “Pipelines are the safest and most cost-effective way to get oil to markets. They can deliver larger volumes and are more energy-efficient than any alternative mode of transportation.” The U.S. Department of State estimates shipping oil by rail to the Gulf Coast costs two to four times the pipeline cost, a differential that will grow with rail tanker and off-loading facility upgrades. Pipelines also win the human safety argument. A Fraser Institute study, Intermodal safety in the transport of oil, concludes oil transport by pipeline presents significantly lower safety risks to workers than road or rail. But when it’s a question of spills, the picture grows murky because 60 per cent of road or rail spills happen during loading or unloading, not during transit. Edmonton-based consultant Green Analytics identifies three crucial aspects to consider—frequency, volume and detection. Rail spills are three to 33 times as frequent as pipe leaks, it says, but the volume released is smaller because the

number and size of rail cars is limited. Train spills are also detected sooner and more easily; pipe breaks can sometimes go undetected or ignored for many hours or days. Observing the surge in hazardous goods transportation and considering that every mode has its risks, the Standing Senate Committee on Energy, the Environment and Natural Resources launched a safety study in 2012 called Moving Energy Safely: A Study of the Safe Transport of Hydrocarbons by Pipelines, Tankers and Railcars in Canada. The committee’s recently released fi nal report makes specific recommendations to improve railway safety culture, tank car construction and regulatory oversight. Even-handedly, it calls for the National Energy Board to audit pipeline safety culture and the federal government to assemble accessible information to prevent excavation incidents. The report also recommends that the National Energy Board and Transport Canada provide ready information on transportation-related oil and gas spills, perhaps to settle the debate once and for all.

Alberta has the some of the largest oil and gas deposits in the world; however, more than 90 per cent of our deposits are unconventional. Due to geological and reservoir complexity of deposits, and applied development and exploitation mechanisms, unconventional operations are often faced with significant environmental challenges associated with greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, high water consumption, and soil and ecological disturbance. As an example of such challenges, we see greenhouse gas emissions as the highest environmental challenge for in situ oilsands operations, while water disturbance is the greatest concern in tight oil and gas operations, as well as oilsands mining operations.

Alberta has one of the best environmental regulation systems in the world, partly due to the development of smart regulations using applied research conducted through the Alberta Upstream Petroleum Research Fund (AUPRF) program. Th is program supports the ongoing development of best practices and has helped industry obtain the social licence to operate, reduce environmental impact and costs, and ease operations for the sustainable development of Alberta’s world-class hydrocarbon resources. Years of collaborative research among industry and government organizations have been responsible for the launch of over 270 projects through the AUPRF program, building trust among diverse stakeholders.

The best environmental opportunity is to continue using applied research in the development of regulations. The results of such research provide industry with an imperative scientific foundation to build government policy and regulations. For example, PTAC’s AUPRF research is focused on proactively identifying issues and possible solutions long before stakeholders resort to dealing with issues in a reactive mode, often leading to confrontational and adversarial hearings. However, the future of the AUPRF program is in jeopardy as the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers stands against the ongoing voluntary collection of funds, rather favouring mandatory collection, which the Alberta Department of Energy does not support.

Reducing upstream greenhouse gas emissions is the single largest environmental challenge facing producers in the province. Oilsands production is Canada’s fastest-growing source of the greenhouse gas pollution that causes climate change. At present, neither the Government of Alberta nor the Government of Canada has adopted adequate policies to manage the local impacts of oilsands development or to curtail the oil and gas sector’s greenhouse gas pollution. In a world that is increasingly concerned about mitigating climate change, it is critical that governments bring in regulations to manage these impacts and that companies pursue the best available technology to reduce their emissions.

In a world that is increasingly concerned about mitigating climate change, it is critical that governments bring in regulations to manage these impacts and that companies pursue the best available technology to reduce their emissions.

From the Pembina Institute’s perspective, the federal government and the Government of Alberta are not adequately managing the environmental impacts of oilsands production today. Our concerns apply both to the cumulative impacts on the local environment (air, land, water and wildlife) and to the greenhouse gas pollution associated with oilsands production. Unfortunately, the impacts of additional projects that have already been approved will exceed regional environmental limits, particularly regarding key metrics such as greenhouse gas emissions, regional air quality, acid deposition levels in local lakes and the preservation of woodland caribou.

As a starting point on fulfi lling our climate change responsibilities, the oil and gas sector should make an adequate contribution to the achievement of Canada’s national 2020 emission-reduction goal. Most significantly, this will require shrinking the greenhouse gas footprint of oilsands extraction for every barrel of bitumen produced. In this vein, industry could begin active deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology on low-cost CO2 streams such as those at natural gas processing facilities and oilsands upgraders. Applying CCS in the oil and gas sector could significantly improve its emissions profi le. However, governments must implement a stringent greenhouse gas emissions price, as either a full auction cap-and-trade system or a carbon tax covering all combustion and almost all fi xed process emissions, in order to incent technology adoption of this scale.

Simply said, the industry needs to reduce its environmental footprint, but really, what does that mean? Environmental challenges in the oil and gas industry are complex and multifaceted. The environmental footprint can be measured in terms of cumulative effects on land disturbance, water use, air emissions or greenhouse gas production. Performance measures for all of these metrics need to be improved.

ENvIRoNMENTAL INNovATIoNS guidebook vol. 2

I think we have done many things well. For example, we’re the fi rst jurisdiction to implement a carbon tax to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and industry is working together to speed up reclamation of tailings ponds, yet we still have a ways to go to meet our own expectations to derive value from our natural resources while managing our footprint. Alberta has been criticized for lacking effective policy and regulations for certain aspects of the oil and gas industry. However, this same criticism could be directed at almost any jurisdiction in North America, so we are not alone in being challenged with effective policy development. Recent policy and regulatory development, including the Alberta Land Stewardship Act, and regional planning mechanisms, could make Alberta a leader in managing cumulative effects if the policy and regulations are effectively implemented. W H AT D o Yo U S E E A S E N v I R o N M E N TA L o PP o R T U N I T I E S F o R o I L A N D G A S PR o D U C E R S I N A L B E R TA R I G H T N o W ?

The international spotlight on Alberta and on oilsands development has highlighted the need for innovation and collaboration. As a result, both government and industry are investing time, effort and dollars on fi nding quick and effective solutions to reduce the environmental footprint of the hydrocarbon industry. As a publicly funded organization, Alberta Innovates – Energy and Environment Solutions gets to work with both government and industry to fi nd innovative solutions for environmental challenges, such as speeding up tailings reclamation, reducing land disturbances from mining and reducing water use and greenhouse gas emissions.
