As energy development in Peace River, Medicine Hat, and Lloydminster, Alberta expands, operators have been under increased scrutiny from regulators and public, resulting in a need for industry to understand their own emissions. The proposed research involves a vehicle-based survey technology developed by Dr. Risk at St. Francis Xavier University (St.FX), which collects high precision information on vented and fugitive emissions. Exhaustive surveys will capture emission 'snapshots' of these regions across Alberta, showcasing the sources and severity of five target gases, including methane, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon dioxide. This will identify low-hanging fruit for emissions reduction, and form a baseline in which new emissions reductions can be compared. This knowledge will empower industry to understand their own fugitive and vented gas footprint to a highly detailed level, in order to drive Best Practice and infrastructure improvements. In the short-term, the project provides excellent HQP training opportunities, and could enhance environmental performance of energy extraction in Alberta. In the long-term the project holds promise for use in other energy extraction monitoring projects, and provides a means by which Alberta operators and regulators can better understand gas emissions, report on gas emissions, and address landowner complaints. St.FX is partnering with the Petroleum Technology Alliance of Canada, whom in addition to financial support will provide interpretation, assessment, and general feedback on scientific and operational levels.******

随着阿尔伯塔省皮斯河、梅迪辛哈特和劳埃德明斯特能源开发的扩大，运营商受到监管机构和公众越来越严格的审查，导致行业需要了解自己的排放量。拟议的研究涉及由圣弗朗西斯泽维尔大学 (St.FX) 的 Risk 博士开发的基于车辆的调查技术，该技术收集有关排放和逸散排放的高精度信息。详尽的调查将捕捉艾伯塔省这些地区的排放“快照”，展示五种目标气体的来源和严重程度，包括甲烷、硫化氢和二氧化碳。这将确定减排的唾手可得的成果，并形成一个可以比较新减排量的基线。这些知识将使行业能够非常详细地了解自己的逸散和排放气体足迹，以推动最佳实践和基础设施改进。短期内，该项目提供了极好的 HQP 培训机会，并可以提高艾伯塔省能源开采的环境绩效。从长远来看，该项目有望用于其他能源开采监测项目，并为艾伯塔省运营商和监管机构提供一种更好地了解气体排放、报告气体排放和解决土地所有者投诉的方法。 St.FX 正在与加拿大石油技术联盟合作，该联盟除了提供财务支持外，还将提供科学和操作层面的解释、评估和一般反馈。******
