Principal Investigator: Dallimore, Scott R
Licensed Year(s): 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2004
Summary: Field research for 2012 will concentrate on two tasks: 1) Continued characterization of gas seeps observed and reported by the National Energy Board, Geological Survey of Canada and Inuvialuit. 2) Data logger (water temperature, level, conductivity and dissolved oxygen) retrieval and redeployment. The objectives of this program are: 1. to collect water and gas samples by-hand for subsequent la...

Principal Investigator: Pollard, Wayne H
Licensed Year(s): 2010 2009
Summary: This licence is being issued for the scientific research application no. 946. The objective of this research is to better understand the distribution of underground ice in hydrocarbon development areas. By identifying how much ice there is, the researcher wants to study how oil/gas activities and climate change could affect the land. Underground ice is one of the most unpredictable and problema...

Principal Investigator: Millman, Peter M
Licensed Year(s): 2006
Summary: The aim of the project is to obtain geological information by observing surface features of the Kamik Trend geological formation and to apply this to the reservoir model for the Tuk M18 gas discovery. Transportation to the area will be by helicopter on a daily basis from Aklavik. Information will be gathered by visual observation, photography, manual measurements with handtools (inclinomete...

Principal Investigator: Widdifield, Dave
Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: The researchers want to learn about the ground conditions at the site by drilling up to 69 boreholes to depths ranging from 16 to 50 metres. They want to find out how thick the active layer is and find any transitions between frozen and unfrozen ground;...

Principal Investigator: Graburn, Larry
Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: The general objective of the program is to obtain information with respect to subsurface conditions at the site by drilling up to fifty boreholes to depths ranging from sixteen to twenty metres. The specific objectives of the program are to characterize...

Principal Investigator: Kiss, Frank
Licensed Year(s): 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999
Summary: This survey will improve public knowledge and understanding of the geology of this area, as no publicly-available magnetic coverage exists. Survey lines will be flown at a spacing of 800 metres and a 200 metre mean terrain clearance (where possible, give...

Principal Investigator: Dallimore, Scott R
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007 2002 1998
Summary: Field activities for this project will be covered under various permits being applied for the engineering operations. Scientific studies being conducted as part of this research will be mainly laboratory oriented to research on the geology, geochemistry, permafrost and gas hydrate properties of drill cores, interpretation of geophysical data and other fundamental research. The Geological Survey of...

Principal Investigator: Brooks, Greg
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: If an oil and gas pipeline is constructed that extends from the Mackenzie Delta to the south, the pipeline will likely cross the East Channel at either Lousy or Swimming Points. Both of these sites have been studied in the past, but little detailed information has been collected on the physical features of these sites. Data will be collected on the features of these sites, including a survey of ...

Principal Investigator: Forbes, Donald L
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The Researchers will use the ARKTOS 5 amphibious vehicle for geophysical surveying in the vicinity of Tuktoyaktuk and the proposed Amauligak pipeline landing site on Richards Island. They will measure nearshore sediment dynamics using wave and current meters at selected locations in the vicinity of the proposed pipeline landing site at North Head....

Principal Investigator: Jones, Timothy
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The Researcher and his assistant will carry out a resource evaluation. A national park has been proposed for the Bluenose Lake area. Before land may be set aside as a park reserve, an assessment of non-renewable (oil, gas, minerals) resource potential is required....
