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.

Develop rod string design software, and a Gas lift optimization system
980960
DV8 is building a rod string design software product called DV8 Dynamics. This software will design the sucker rod pumping system and eliminate the high error rate in rod string design. The current software used for designing wells was developed when wells were mainly vertical and does not produce an accurate rod design for deviated wells. This ends up costing producers a significant amount of money due to increased maintenance issues, equipment failures and the associated losses in production and work over costs. DV8 will develop a gas lift solution. DV8 GL will use machine learning models to optimize compressor and valve operations in the field to increase production. The system will be cloud based automated optimization system.

YEP: Designing and connecting iot hardware to the cloud
971235
One of the major challenges with industrial internet of things technology (iiot) is connecting the physical devices in the field to the cloud. Systems need to be easy to install otherwise it creates more challenges to technology adoption. This project aims to design and develop easy to use iiot hardware.
The challenge with the existing systems is the complexity involved in configuring devices and the time spent wiring and troubleshooting in the field. This project will design a system for preconfiguring units remotely and engineer plug and play systems for faster deployment. This will reduce the amount of time operators need to spend in the field and increase the scalability of the product.

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.
