Download or read book Environmental Review of Onshore Canadian Oil and Gas Drilling and Production Activities written by Canada. Environmental Protection Programs Directorate and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current and proposed Canadian onshore oil and gas drilling and production activities are reviewed with respect to their potential for environmental effects. Canadian petroleum geology and related hydrogeology are described to provide a framework for discussion of the impact of oil and gas drilling and recovery operations, including tar sands development, and waste disposal practices. Environmental legislation applicable to oil and gas industry activities is also reviewed. Major environmental concerns identified include the potential for soil and groundwater contamination by drilling fluids, solid wastes, chemical additives, oils and brines, produced sands, and liquid wastes. The potential for contamination depends on handling and disposal practices and the geologic and hydrogeologic characteristics of the drilling and production site. Although fairly comprehensive legislation is in place, its effectiveness in the long-term has not been assessed, and no specific legislation exists for in situ tar sands development. Areas where knowledge is lacking and research is required have been identified.

Download or read book Breakdown written by Dennis McConaghy and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2019-08-31 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2019/20 The Donner Prize — Winner Is a national consensus on hydrocarbon development possible? The ongoing debate in Canada over the extraction of hydrocarbon resources and their transportation to markets exemplifies the country’s political polarization. Breakdown explores these tensions through economic, environmental, and political perspectives. The Trudeau Liberals and Alberta’s one-term NDP government attempted to find a compromise that satisfies the concerns of British Columbia, Canada’s First Nations, and environmentalists. But they still could not break the impasse on the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion. With new players now at the table, can Canada find a reasonable path forward?

We do not believe that the development of hydrocarbons must inevitably lead to serious irreparable damage to Canada's arctic environment. We do, however, believe strongly in the need for great care and caution in approaching major decisions on proposed developments. The Panel appears, in preparing its recommendations, to face a choice between three alternatives: recommend that the proposal be supported largely as proposed, subject to appropriate terms and conditions, or recommend that any overall approval be deferred until the proposals have been substantially modified in accordance with social and environmental concerns, and certain actions take place with respect to the regulatory and management framework, or recommend that it be rejected. ... RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE PANEL. ... A comprehensive policy statement is needed to guide northern development planning for the North, in the 1980s and beyond. ... A regional planning program should be implemented immediately, with highest priority accorded to those areas in which industrial activity is most imminent; one objective being to minimize both cumulative impacts and long term disruptions associated with the proliferation of development sites and facilities. ... The northern coordination effort should include attention to ensuring the capability of agencies of government to deal with the decisions entailed in the development policy. ... Beaufort Sea hydrocarbon production proposals should flow from a federal policy on northern development, in accordance with regional planning decisions. Beaufort Sea Hydrocarbon Productions should not proceed until such time as the necessary Regional Planning and management systems are in place to guide the development process. ... Large-scale industrial projects such as Beaufort Sea hydrocarbon production should be implemented in such a way that development is phased over a period of several years, depending on project dimensions. ... Projects such as the Beaufort Sea hydrocarbon production require a highly integrated regulatory system. ... On the basis of present knowledge of oil transport technology, pipelines entail fewer unknowns and lower risks of serious oil spills than tankers, and should be used exclusively until ice-strengthened ships with non-polluting cargos have demonstrated the acceptability of the tanker alternative. ... A survey of reclamation legislation should be made with a view to introducing regulations that will, for example, ensure restoration of contours and removal and re-use of construction materials, utilized in artificial reefs and islands, upon de-commissioning. ... The environmental assessment review processes should be applied to arctic hydrocarbon exploration programs, to ensure that these programs are carefully adapted to the environment. Comprehensive and public impact statements prepared during the exploration phase of Beaufort Sea Development should be incorporated into the subsequent Regional Plan.

Download or read book Fossilized written by Angela V. Carter and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks to increasingly extreme forms of oil extraction, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Newfoundland and Labrador underwent exceptional economic growth from 2005 to 2015. Fossilized investigates the environmental policy trends that supported this development trajectory, such as institutional restructuring that prioritizes extraction over environmental protection, alongside inadequate environmental assessment, land-use planning, and emissions controls. Angela Carter’s detailed analysis situates the policy dynamics of Canada’s largest oil-producing provinces within the historical and global context of late-stage petro-capitalism and deepening neoliberalization. As the global community moves toward decarbonization, Canada's petro-provinces are instead doubling down on oil – to their ecological and economic peril.
