Summary: This project is a continuation of work that began in 2004. The Niglintgak Gas Processing facility may be constructed on a seaworthy barge, transported to a staging site in the Beaufort Sea, and then towed through the Mackenzie Delta channels to a sheltered location in Little Kumak Channel where the barge set-down site is proposed. This study will look at the environmental conditions along the pro...

Summary: This project is a continuation of traditional knowledge (TK) studies in the Fort Simpson area, which were initiated in 2002 as part of the baseline studies and assessment for the Mackenzie Gas Project. In 2004, Nogha Geomatics was a subcontractor to the MGP and local researchers were hired to undertake study tasks. Since December 2004, project management in Fort Simpson has shifted to the Liidli...

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;...

Licensed Year(s): 2004
Summary: This bathymetry program will determine water depth information along Reindeer Channel, Ellice Island area, and Ya Ya Lake for the proposed 2005/6 seismic program. Understanding the water depth is a key requirement for determining suitable barge access ar...
