Summary: The proposed biophysical and reconnaissance studies are aimed at collecting data to assess the feasibility of constructing a potential oil and gas pipeline for the Mackenzie Gas Project. The 2006 work programme includes: route and site reconnaissance; aquatic and terrestrial studies; and engineering, geological and geophysical studies. Route and site reconnaissance comprise: verification of the ...

Principal Investigator: Millman, Pete
Licensed Year(s): 2004
Summary: This project has been initiated as a first step in selecting a pipeline route between the M18 gas discovery and Parsons Lake. While construction of a pipeline from M18 to Parsons Lake will not occur for several years, the LiDAR project will allow Devon t...

Summary: Noise monitoring will be conducted in the Taglu lease and in the Swimming Point, Parsons Lake and Jimmy Lake regions. These data will provide estimates of background ambient noise which will be needed before construction of the Mackenzie Gas Project. Pr...

Principal Investigator: Good, Ron
Licensed Year(s): 2002
Summary: This research is part of an ongoing program to develop geophysical standards for pipeline route surveying. This line has been chosen because past shallow drilling programs on this line have provided us with a great deal of ground truth, geology, temperat...

Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The BC Terrestrial Ecosystem Mapping inventory standard will be used to provide a uniform method of describing vegetation, soil and terrain based on air photo interpretation and field data collection. The sites will be contained within a 1 km corridor with 'bulges' in areas of special concern such as river crossings. Surveying sites accessed by helicopter, boat, vehicle and/or on foot. To avoid c...

Principal Investigator: Shopik, Tim
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The proposed field research programs will allow the proponent to determine the technical and environmental feasibility and economic viability of a subsea natural gas pipeline from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to the Mackenzie Delta area of Canada. Five field research projects are proposed to provide information needed to make the necessary evaluations. The research is designed to: (1) Assess the feasibil...

Principal Investigator: Shopik, Tim
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The proposed field research program will include the following general areas of study: freshwater aquatics (freshwater fish and their habitats, water quality, hydrology), terrestrial wildlife including waterfowl, vegetation and soils, archaeology and noise. For all studies, access will be by helicopter, boat or on foot, as appropriate. Most access will be by helicopter. Methods to be employed i...

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....
