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.******

随着和平河、梅迪辛哈特和阿尔伯塔的阿尔伯塔省的能源开发不断扩大，运营商受到监管机构和公众越来越多的审查，因此行业需要了解自己的排放量。拟议中的研究涉及由圣弗朗西斯泽维尔大学（St.FX）的风险博士开发的基于车辆的调查技术，该技术收集关于排放和逃逸排放的高精度信息。详尽的调查将捕捉阿尔伯塔这些地区的排放“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。这将确定减排的低挂果实，并形成一个基线，可以比较新的减排量。这些知识将使行业能够非常详细地了解自己的挥发性和排放气体足迹，以推动最佳实践和基础设施的改进。在短期内，该项目提供了极好的HQP培训机会，并可以提高阿尔伯塔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，并为阿尔伯塔省的运营商和监管机构提供了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手段。St.FX正在与加拿大石油技术联盟合作，该联盟除了提供资金支持外，还将提供科学和操作层面的解释，评估和一般反馈。
