GEA and The Smart Grid Development in Ontario

Toronto
Ontario has many things it can leverage — a world-class transmission utility, a diverse power mix, a strategy to shut down coal plants, and a commitment to renewables and electric vehicles. We also have a strong telecommunications and IT heritage that, combined with our expertise in traditional energy fields, could be used to make Ontario a clear leader in smart-grid development. All it needs now is a comprehensive plan, a vision behind it, and a commitment from both government and the private sector to come together and make it happen. It could become a significant source of job creation for the province, and a significant path to export opportunities.

Hyatt Regency Hotel

Calgary, AB
Benefit from the informed expertise of an outstanding speaker faculty assembled to help you: - Improve production performance with cutting-edge fraccing techniques - Select a successful strategy for shale gas drilling and completions - Enhance your understanding of the reservoir through geomechanical and geochemical characterization - Mitigate the cost and logistical challenges of water management issues - Predict well performance with advanced modeling techniques Shale gas has the potential to change the landscape of North American supply in many ways over the coming years. It is also a tremendous resource with impressive productivity from the Barnett, Fayetteville, Woodford, Marcellus, Muskwa, Montney, and Haynesville shales. However, there are many strategic challenges ahead, especially when considering the issues of geotechnical evaluation, drilling and completions techniques, logistical planning, and stakeholder concerns that must be addressed to ensure that shale gas realizes its great long-term potential. The environmentally friendly natural gas market in North America is poised to be one of the great success stories of the oil and gas industry. This success has prompted the major oil and gas companies to participate in exploiting these resources. Their effort is spreading globally and there are serious indications of potential shale gas discoveries in Europe, Australia and elsewhere. Shale gas is going global!

6th Edition Western Canada Remediation and Reclamation for Contaminated Sites

Calgary
Despite the challenging financial times, there continues to be momentum in land development arising from the western provinces’ expanding natural resource-based industries and resulting urban population growth. Companies and their advisors will need to learn how to best manage the regulatory and liability issues arising from changes in contaminated sites/brownfields legislation and the manner in which environmental disputes are being resolved by courts and tribunals.

7th Annual Canadian Oil Sands

Calgary
Canada’s oil sands continue to increase in strategic value as a secure source of future oil production in the next decade. Alberta’s oil sands deposits are estimated to contain 1.7 trillion barrels of bitumen (315 billion barrels recoverable using current technology) and are ranked as either the largest or 2nd largest petroleum reserve in the world. Production from oil sands now well exceeds conventional production from Western Canada, and is expected to make up to approximately 75% of total production by 2015. Canada is already the largest exporter of oil and petroleum products to the U.S., and over the next decade significant increases in oil sands derived production will supply an even larger percentage of America’s steadily increasing demand for oil. With a recovery of global fuels demand beginning to emerge, a number of development activities have shown that interest in investment in the oil sands has not faded. Although the technology outlook appears promising for recovery of bitumen and carbon capture, the path forward still holds many challenges with many projects currently on hold.

The Canadian Institute's Well & Pipeline Abandonment, Suspension and Reclamation

The Fairmont Palliser Hotel, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
The laws governing abandonment and suspension are now more stringent than ever before. Staying compliant will not only help your company avoid penalties but also avoid negative media publicity and potential law suits. Inactive wells and pipelines are not only a major financial liability to the province but can pose serious health risks and cause environmental damage. Be a part of this exclusive gathering and hear from leading professionals on ways to properly and cost effectively manage your abandonment, suspension and reclamation initiatives. Learn about pertinent regulatory updates, government incentives, innovative gas migration tools, cost effective remediation methods and the latest procedures in facility abandonment and decommissioning. Highlights from this event include: Best practices in how to abandon historic wells and pipelines An innovative fiber optic technology that helps find the source of surface casing vent flow and gas leaks Why community buy-in is critical before abandoning and discontinuing your facility How to avoid penalties associated with non-compliance Regulatory developments impacting abandonment, suspension and remediation in Alberta, BC and Saskatchewan The cost and environmental benefits of Phytoremediation A case study on the abandonment of Dingman #2, a historic Canadian well Important information about Alberta Environment’s professional sign off criteria A case study assessing the latest technology in gas migration control

The Canadian Institute's East Coast Natural Gas Conference

Westin Nova Scotian, Halifax, Nova Scotia
There is a new day dawning in East Coast energy markets. After a period of significant downturn, promising new developments are on the horizon in both onshore and offshore activity. Market dynamics have changed substantially and a new understanding is needed to succeed in the East Coast oil and gas industries. The Canadian Institute’s Emerging Opportunities in East Coast Natural Gas explores the interplay and economics of existing, expanding and new projects and their roles in the North American supply picture. This is your opportunity to join colleagues and competitors for an in-depth examination of the issues including: Demand recovery and competing sources of supply in the Atlantic and Northeastern marketplace The changing role of LNG in satisfying natural gas demand New opportunities in onshore unconventional production and its impact on the supply mix Improving market access and deliverability: existing infrastructure and projected shortfalls Impact of US shale gas production on the North American grid

Renewable Energy in Ontario

Toronto
To meet infrastructure demands as we adapt to a more sustainable, green energy economy, the Ontario Government has earmarked a number of long term transmission projects in areas with significant potential for renewable power generation. In turn, local distribution companies (LDCs) are now obligated to connect distributed and renewable generation projects to the distribution grid, including two-way distribution for those customers who want to install solar panels on their roof or connect larger solar, wind and biofuel projects.

7th Annual B.C. Power Summit

Vancouver
Electricity and related policy issues continue to command significant interest in British Columbia at the consumer, supplier and government levels. Since the last B.C. Power Summit in 2009, security of supply and related cost issues have taken on a particular prominence in light of BC Hydro resource planning, major capital project and revenue requirement applications to the Utilities Commission, and appeals of the Commission’s decision regarding BCTC’s Interior to Lower Mainland Transmission Project. Meanwhile, conservation and GHG issues continue to stand prominently on the agendas of British Columbia electric utilities and the Utilities Commission. Regarding the latter, BC Hydro filed an application in October for an innovative conservation rate structure for its large commercial customers that would bring full marginal cost pricing to the largest customers in that class, and initiated a review of its conservation rate structure for its transmission voltage customers.
