Canadian Energy Experience
Petrel Robertson and our teams have completed an extensive variety of energy and related resource projects across Canada and around the globe.
WESTERN CANADA
Here are some examples from Western Canada:
- Conventional exploration evaluation and scoping projects
- Conventional development work, including operations supervision
- Oil sands and heavy oil consulting
- Operational (seismic and drilling) support
- Resource and economic evaluation of SAGD properties
- Prospect development and strategic planning
- Tight gas and oil reservoir geoscience
- Regional comparative analysis of tight gas and oil reservoirs
- Resource mapping and volumetrics
- Comparative economic evaluation of tight gas and oil reservoirs
- Evaluation and mapping of specific properties
- Shale gas and oil reservoir geoscience
- Regional mapping of shale gas parameters – maturity, geochemistry, thickness
- Compilation and organization of various public shale gas and oil data
- Evaluation of specific shale gas and oil plays at exploration and development levels
- Regional characterization of deep saline subsurface aquifer potential, in support of unconventional resource development

PRCL facilitates 21st century Energy Transitions
We apply our subsurface geoscience and engineering expertise to oil and gas, water resource characterization, geothermal resources, subsurface energy storage and carbon sequestration, and exploration for helium and other strategic commodities

THE 21st CENTURY ENERGY TRANSITION
Petrel Robertson is playing an important role as Canada and the world transition to more diverse energy sources and storage.
Oil and gas will be critical for energy and petrochemicals for decades to come. PRCL supports orderly, efficient, and environmentally responsible development of oil and gas resources. Much of our oil- and gas-related work now supports initiatives such as identifying water source and disposal opportunities for unconventional oil and gas, while ensuring protection of fresh water resources.
We are also finding opportunities to leverage our subsurface skill sets beyond oil and gas, including:
- Exploring for and developing other resources, such as minerals-rich saline brines and helium, found in deep gas reservoirs
- Characterizing saline water resources in deep aquifers to supply water for hydraulic fracturing, and to safely dispose of waste water from petroleum and other industrial processes
- Characterizing fresh water resources in shallow aquifers, as water supply for many uses, and to guard against contamination
- Mapping areas at risk from induced seismicity
- Evaluating and planning geothermal energy development
- Assessing and planning subsurface energy storage, as in caverns and fracture systems
