Building the Well Remediation Toolbox 2
2023-10-31 09:00 - 11:30 | Virtual Event
This is a webinar series hosted by InnoTech Alberta on the use of alternative materials and emerging technologies in wellbore remediation and decommissioning. This is the second of our Well Remediation Toolbox webinar series.
Wellbore leakage affects all types and ages of oil and gas wells in both onshore and offshore settings. Evidence suggests that using alternative products and technologies will significantly improve well remediation outcomes while potentially lowering the number of interventions for vent flow remediation and reducing industry costs.
Considering the complexity of well remediation and closure operations, operators need a diverse toolbox of technologies to choose from. This InnoTech Alberta webinar provides an opportunity to learn about new developments from industry leaders while discussing experiences and challenges across the industry.
Talks will explore four technologies with a technical focus, including:

material characteristics;
suitable applications;
placement and operational practices;
case studies;
laboratory testing;
field trials; and
supporting technologies with presentations from technology companies.

These presentations will be followed by a question-and-answer period with each webinar’s featured speakers.
For our second webinar, three speakers will be featured:

Ryan Wilton, SNF
Kyle Roebuck, BASF
Mike McDonald, National Silicates
Christian Rosnes, Interwell

Register today and join us on Oct. 31 to build your well-remediation toolbox!

Using Isotopes to Study Climate-Related Changes in Our Water Resources
2023-10-17 13:00 - 14:30 | Virtual Event
Join us for the next edition of the Water Innovation series on Alberta Innovates Unbound. The impacts of climate change can be clearly seen in our water resources. In Alberta, water quality is changing, and water supply is more variable and increasingly uncertain due to extreme weather events. Stable isotopes have been used to investigate water balance processes, and the relationships between hydrology, vegetation and ecosystems. These tools can help build an accurate baseline of water resources to better understand potential future states.
This webinar brings together four researchers who are using isotopes in different ways to characterize how climate change is affecting our water.
