Summary: Oil and gas exploration activities took place on Prince Patrick Island in the 1970s, including the drilling of wellsite Panarctic Satellite F-68 at Satellite Bay. These activities resulted in the known abandonment of structures, debris and environmental concerns at Satellite Bay including one large garage and two small trailers; several burn pits and burnt material; a “dilapidated garage” on an a...

Summary: The objectives of the sump monitoring activities are to gain further knowledge of long-term sump integrity and sump monitoring techniques while addressing both the commitments of the Mallik Gas Hydrate Project and the recommendations from site surveys. Active layer depth will be measured to determine differences between sumps and undisturbed areas. Ground temperature will be recorded. Ground co...

Summary: Since the 1970s, the oil and gas industry has drilled at least nineteen exploratory wells in the Kendall Island Bird Sanctuary. Observations at associated drilling mud-sumps have been made; however, there remains a paucity of field data describing site conditions. It is also appreciated that construction of the proposed Mackenzie Valley pipeline will stimulate the development of Niglintgak and Tag...

Summary: The Pointed Mountain Gas Plant, six associated wellsites, and the airstrip are being assessed during the decommissioning process. The site was initially constructed in 1966. The plant has been shut down since September 2001. The Pointed Mountain field has had soil, groundwater, and surface water assessed since 1990. Previous environmental work and public consultation at this site have identifi...

Summary: Since the 1970's, the oil and gas industry has drilled at least 19 exploratory wells in the Kendall Island Bird Sanctuary (KIBS), but there is a shortage of field data describing environmental conditions at the well-sites and drilling-mud sumps. In Marc...

Summary: Soil samples will be taken from four potential sump sites for the 2005 drilling program. Soil samples will provide information on active layer depth, soil composite, salinity levels, permeability and moisture content to determine sump site suitability. I...
