Canada owns the world's 3rd largest oil reserve, the 6th largest technically recoverable shale gas reserve and acomparably massive gas reserve. Sulfur species must be removed from all these commercial fluids to limitsulfur dioxide emissions and/or toxicity. Traditional sour gases in Canada are produced with up to 45% H2S,unconventional shale gas is produced with up to 800 ppm H2S and 10% CO2 and off-gas from heavy oilproduction or upgrading contains up to 6% H2S. The majority of research aimed at managing impurities inthese fluids is limited to the low-pressure regime (near atmospheric), whereas high-pressure studies allow forthe exploration and optimization of lower energy alternatives. For example, Carbon Capture and Sequestrationor Acid Gas Injection requires understanding complex chemistry in high-pressure liquid-like fluids, whereasmost commercial simulators are limited to gas phase.The activity of the NSERC/Alberta Sulfur Research Ltd. IRC in Applied Sulfur Chemistry is aimed atimproving technologies for sour gas production, conditioning and processing at elevated pressures. Throughaccurate measurement of physical chemical properties and precise understanding of high-pressure chemicalbehavior, research in the new term has expanded to include the water carrying capacity of dense CO2 and/orH2S fluids, the optimization of adsorbents used to reduce water in liquid acid gas fluids (cryogenic adsorption),building reference quality information for chemical equilibria calculations in injectate fluids and understandingthe modification of sulfur rheometry for possible future injection of elemental sulfur. The chair fundingprovides training for 14 highly qualified personnel, where historically 80% of HQP graduating from thisprogram have gone onto professional positions in the Oil and Gas Sector.

加拿大拥有世界第三大石油储量，第六大技术可采页岩气储量和相当大的天然气储量。必须从所有这些商业流体中去除含硫物质，以限制二氧化硫排放和/或毒性。在加拿大，传统的酸性气体含有高达45%的H2S，非常规页岩气含有高达800 ppm的H2S和10%的CO2，重油生产或升级的尾气含有高达6%的H2S。大多数旨在管理这些流体中杂质的研究仅限于低压区（接近大气压），而高压研究允许探索和优化低能量替代品。例如，碳捕集和封存或酸性气体注入需要了解高压液态流体中的复杂化学，而大多数商业模拟器仅限于气相。NSERC/阿尔伯塔硫研究有限公司IRC在应用硫化学方面的活动旨在改进高压下酸性气体生产、调节和处理的技术。除了对物理化学性质的精确测量和对高压化学行为的精确理解外，新学期的研究已经扩展到包括致密CO2和/或H2S流体的载水能力，用于减少液态酸性气体流体中水分的吸附剂的优化（低温吸附），建立注射液化学平衡计算的参考质量信息，并了解硫流变测定法的改进，未来可能注入元素硫。教席基金为14名高素质人员提供培训，历史上80%的HQP毕业生都在石油和天然气行业担任专业职务。
