About this Event
Hosted by PTAC Petroleum Technology Alliance Canada on June 25, 2026, in Calgary at the U of C Downtown Campus in DTC 241 (in person), this AUPRF forum will bring together members of the Remediation & Reclamation Research Committee (RRRC) and the Ecological Research Planning Committee (ERPC), along with researchers and stakeholders, to showcase high-value completed and ongoing research.
The forum is designed around clear, time-boxed project presentations with Q&A and dedicated discussion blocks to emphasize practical applications, decision-support value, and implementation pathways—with a joint session to identify cross-committee coordination opportunities (shared methods, shared datasets, aligned pilots, coordinated communications) and capture concrete action items for next steps.
The AUPRF Remediation, Reclamation & Ecological Forum will showcase work on remote sensing and soil remediation for salts, metals, and hydrocarbons, and identify solutions to pressing environmental management challenges in the oil and gas sector.
