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.

New product initiative evaluation framework
934284
This project is intended as one of many different initiatives Lixar is embarking on to strengthen the business, explore different business opportunities and business models. The project will seek to develop a product management function to evaluate new product ideas against the company's growth strategy. Historically Lixar has embarked on many initiatives without necessarily performing adequate due dilligence on the opportunities. It's hoped that this evaluation framework will provide a clear, concise and efficient way to inform whether or not Lixar should invest in said opportunities.

Field testing edge device & model on deviated and horizonal wells
934959
The project will consist of running DV8 edge devices on a number of different wells. The Firm wants to test its mathematical model over a range of different well types in terms of depth, deviation and complexity. The wells are heavy oil wells, using rod pumps & Rotaflex surface pumping units. The edge device will gather data, complete diagnostics on downhole conditions, display the generated downhole dynamometer card to the user through the internet, and send commands to the pumping unit to speed up if more production is available, or slow down to save energy. The depth ranges from 1200 meters to 1600 meters.
