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.

Multilateral Junction Tool Assembly (MJTA) Testing and Deployment
1029510
Over the years, the upstream industry has put significant effort towards improving the way we produce our hydrocarbon reserves as the era of “easy oil” has long been surpassed. Two of our biggest issues facing today’s hydrocarbon production are poor investment returns driven by capital and commodity prices and the increasing pressures to reduce the environmental footprint. Modern Wellbore Solutions is developing a multilateral technology that creates cost and environmental efficiencies by allowing oil and natural gas companies to drill multiple lateral legs from a single vertical wellbore and hydraulic fracturing. The technology is engineered for adoption and is compatible with existing well construction, equipment and facilities activities. The objective of this project is to continue the development of the multilateral lateral Junction process and tool, which was supported by initial investments from Alberta Innovates and Tecterra to a full-scale deployment system. The first of its kind in the world, this multilateral technology will allow oil and natural gas companies to drill, complete, and operate onshore multilaterals throughout the life cycle of its wellbore. The environmental benefits come from providing operators with a reduction in emissions above existing practices in terms of the development, drilling, production and abandonment activities. While our technology is targeted to the oil and natural gas sector, it also has application to geothermal energy projects.

Green Youth: Multilateral Junction Development
904492
The project will build, pilot test and demonstrate prototypes of a novel multilateral junction tool (MJT) for use in hydraulic fracturing of tight and shale hydrocarbon formations. Our innovative clean oil and gas technology aims to develop jobs for Canadians and simultaneously greening energy production and and eliminating fugitive emissions. Normally, one vertical wellbore is required to drill each horizontal lateral. However, multilateral junctions allow multiple horizontal laterals to be drilled from the same vertical wellbore, avoiding the incremental cost of multiple vertical wellbores and associated service facilities. This results in dramatic cost and GHG emissions reductions.
