Energy innovation is critical to our future. With the limitations of current technology to convert our natural resources to marketable energy supplies while ensuring a cleaner environment, there is a dire need to continue developing cutting-edge technologies for increasingly efficient and responsible utilization of unconventional hydrocarbon sources. Coordinated strategic investments in energy research programs and innovation systems will sustain and bolster Canada's position as a world leader in pioneering research and the responsible development of conventional and unconventional energy production. Energi Simulation, resource industry companies and the University of Alberta have joined forces to develop a NSERC Collaborative Research and Development (CRD) program that will apply soil and rock mechanics principles to reservoir geomechanical characterization at multiple scales for unconventional resources. The research program will also pursue reservoir geomechanical modelling and production optimization that will advance our fundamental knowledge in these areas and allow us to develop novel technologies and processes for economic and environmentally sustainable recovery of unconventional resources. The present application represents the second phase of an ongoing collaborative research and development program with many of our first phase industrial partners.If Canada is to find and develop the next generation of energy reserves and manage the environmental challenges it poses, it must first find and develop the next generation of energy industry leaders-leaders who will take educated and informed risks, build companies, pursue a vision and, in the process, find and produce the energy to fuel the world. This NSERC CRD program, supported by the state-of-the-art GeoInnovation Environments, will create an innovative, exciting research environment for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, research engineers and junior and senior research professors to train the next generation of leaders.

能源创新对我们的未来至关重要。由于当前技术在将自然资源转化为可销售的能源供应同时确保更清洁的环境方面存在局限性，因此迫切需要继续开发尖端技术，以更加高效和负责任地利用非常规碳氢化合物来源。对能源研究计划和创新系统的协调战略投资将维持和巩固加拿大在常规和非常规能源生产的开拓性研究和负责任的开发方面的世界领先地位。 Energi Simulation、资源行业公司和阿尔伯塔大学联手开发了 NSERC 协作研究与开发 (CRD) 计划，该计划将应用土壤和岩石力学原理对非常规资源进行多尺度储层地质力学表征。该研究计划还将致力于油藏地质力学建模和生产优化，这将提高我们在这些领域的基础知识，并使我们能够开发新技术和工艺，以经济和环境可持续的方式回收非常规资源。目前的申请代表了我们与许多第一阶段工业合作伙伴正在进行的合作研究和开发计划的第二阶段。如果加拿大要寻找和开发下一代能源储备并管理其带来的环境挑战，它必须首先找到和培养下一代能源行业的领导者，他们将承担受过教育和知情的风险，建立公司，追求愿景，并在此过程中寻找和生产能源来为世界提供燃料。该 NSERC CRD 计划在最先进的地理创新环境的支持下，将为研究生、博士后研究员、研究工程师以及初级和高级研究教授创造一个创新、令人兴奋的研究环境，以培训下一代领导者。
