2024 Ecological Forum

Petroleum Technology Alliance Canada (PTAC) invites you to join an informative event focusing on ecological resource development and access to resources, which are vital industry challenges today. The oil and gas industry is dedicated to managing the physical footprint on the landscape and minimizing industry-based effects on species, ecosystems, and ecosystem components. Industry aims to reduce impacts on biodiversity and ecological processes, developing, reclaiming, and restoring areas impacted by oil and gas development. Research and sound science must inform policy and regulatory requirements governing oil and gas activity in these areas.

In recent years, oil and gas producers have invested millions of dollars in ecological-related research projects to address challenges. These projects cover various areas, including the role of predation in woodland caribou population declines, the effectiveness of footprint reclamation or functional restoration, the effectiveness of mitigation activities, and wildlife responses to oil and gas activity. This is an exciting opportunity for you to learn and grow in your understanding of these crucial issues.

This event will provide technical updates from current industry-sponsored research overseen by industry and government technical champions. Presentation highlights will include project learnings/outcomes, best practices, potential cost savings, and future impacts on policy and regulations. The event will conclude with a panel discussion involving audience engagement on research progress, successful operationalization, outcomes, and remaining tasks.
