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.

Sub-Surface Automated Smart Wellbore-Phase2
931827
This project is the continuation of Sub-Surface automated smart wellbore NCS initially started with IRAP. The project is the Phase 2 portion of the same project, in which we will develop an autonomous mechatronic valve system for use in oil and gas wellbores. The proposed technology includes an interventionless valve system and a reservoir optimization system with sophisticated Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms. The wellbore is partitioned into stages, with each stage including an actuator and sensors to monitor properties of the formation or to communicate with and to surface.

Sub-Surface Automated Smart Wellbore
910597
In this project, an autonomous mechatronic valve system for use in oil and gas wellbores will be developed. The proposed technology includes an interventionless valve system and a reservoir optimization system with sophisticated Artificial Intelligence algorithms. The wellbore is partitioned into stages, with each stage including a valve and sensors to monitor properties of the formation. Sensor measurements are collected at a central decision-making unit, and the optimization system analyzes the collected information to make sophisticated decisions, using AI to operate the mechatronic valves, and thereby optimize hydrocarbon production. Reservoir modelling will be also conducted to understand the effect of the optimization and improvement.
