Grants and Contributions

About this information

In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.

The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.

Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Scenario Analysis and System Hydraulics

Agreement Number:

1039869

Duration: from Jan 1, 2026 to Dec 31, 2026
Description:

Barreleye Ltd. develops software that optimizes water use in oil and gas operations. The proposed Scenario Analysis and System Hydraulics project expands Barreleye’s platform with economic scenario analysis and engineering-grade fluid dynamics modeling. These tools allow producers to evaluate alternatives to freshwater while validating the economic feasibility of using recycled produced water, brackish water, or blended solutions instead. Scenario planning informs short and long term investment decisions that accelerate the transition away from the requirement of, or reliance on, freshwater. System hydraulics ensures accurate water flow forecasting in complex geographies maximizing recycled produced water use over freshwater.

In collaboration with National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) worldwide, including NRC, the BIPM fulfills its mandate of providing the basis for a single, coherent system of measurements throughout the world, traceable to the International System of Units (SI). This mandate is carried out through a series of consultative committees whose members are the national metrology laboratories of the Member States, and through the BIPM’s own laboratory work, which includes carrying out measurement-related research and calibrations in selected areas for some Member States, depending on the technical sophistication of their NMIs. National Metrology Institutes then disseminate measurement standards through calibration services to national scientific, industrial, commercial, and public sector users.
