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.

Water Management - Operations Functionality

Agreement Number:

1032287

Duration: from Jul 1, 2025 to Feb 3, 2026
Description:

Barreleye is building an "Operations" suite of functionality which will empower teams to plan, execute, and adapt water logistics in real time—ensuring water is delivered on time, cost-effectively, and without risk. Hydraulics will balance pressure, rates, and pump efficiency, while minimizing capital costs. Generic job management will ensure clear communication between field teams, vendors, and headquarters via Firm's mobile app. Which will ensure live updates on water movements, allowing for on-the-fly adjustments to prevent downtime. By digitizing execution workflows and integrating real-time data, Barreleye Operations provides the control and confidence needed to keep water operations running smoothly, efficiently, and on budget

Barreleye - Costs Management & Solver Efficiencies

Agreement Number:

992996

Duration: from Jul 1, 2022 to Jan 31, 2025
Description:

Project #1 for NRC IRAP focused on scoping and building an algorithm for water movement through a constrained network. Project #2 for NRC IRAP is a continuation of the first project and will have two objectives: one involving Costs Management and the other involving Solver Efficiencies.

Costs Management
Using our newly built water movement algorithm, costs will be layered on top of this with an intent to optimize the movement of water based on costs.

Solver Efficiencies
The algorithm that was implemented will have to be manipulated in a variety of ways to ensure more robust usability including increasing its calculation speed and enabling the concept of future & past dates.

Phase 1 - Water Management Planning and Development

Agreement Number:

966740

Duration: from Feb 1, 2021 to Apr 30, 2021
Description:

The oil & gas industry manages a tremendous amount of water and for a company to manage all water successfully, they must solve water sourcing, disposal, and recycling problems. Phase 1 of Barreleye's development solves the water sourcing problem. The NRC IRAP project focuses on the algorithm being built for the waterflow through the system from sources to projects. The algorithm is being built to move water while taking into account constraints including rates, dates, capacities, and volumes. Once this is complete, a back calculation engine will be layered on top to ensure water can begin moving prior to requirements so they can be fulfilled on time.
