Recipient's Legal Name:

WESTCOAST ENERGY INC.

Program Purpose:

This Agreement will support the fourth and final phase of an exploratory study aiming at the implementation of a world scale, transformative carbon capture and storage project at the site of Spectra Energy Transmissions gas processing plant in Fort Nelson. The purpose of the project is to obtain a better understanding of the characteristics of the targeted reservoir during injection and the extent of these reservoirs in addition to geomechanical and geochemical properties of the rock and its capacity to accept injected fluid. This information is necessary to predict reservoir performance and injected fluid dispersion over time and is critical to determining the geological suitability of the area for large scale carbon capture and storage.
