The future of Alberta oil

[Gone_Fishin]

Has anybody here besides fluffy and me actually worked in the patch?

So you got fired and now you hate the industry for it.

Now it all makes sense. Let it go.

Hmmm. ^^^^

Kind of made a U-turn to bite the hand that fed you.

Your erroneous assumptions.

And your direct experience in the oil patch is . . .?

I hope that's just paraffin froth.

But that was the future a while back.

For people who are interested in 'the past' to maybe write about the future.

Here's resource for researchers.

It's located in Calgary.

The Canada Energy Regulator Library provides access to CER, industry, and energy information. Our library collection is unique and some materials can only be accessed through us. We take great pride in collecting and preserving literature about the CER. Not only do we hold a full collection of all hearing materials, such as exhibits, hearing transcripts, and Reasons for Decision, we also have a complete collection of our reports, studies, and research papers.

The main collection consists of statutes, federal regulations, and decision documents from the CER and other jurisdictions, as well as books, annual reports, studies, reports, speeches, and standards. In addition, we collect directories, dictionaries, encyclopedias, and industry-related indexes in the reference collection, and documentaries and instructional videos in the audio visual collection. You’ll also find magazines and journals related to oil, gas, and electricity.

The public has access to a range of services offered by the library, including consultation of regulatory documents, copies of CER publications, and referrals to internal and external sources of information. While members of the public cannot borrow materials directly from us, many public, university, and corporate libraries may do so on an individual’s behalf through our inter-library loan service.

Service Standard:

Library staff strive to reply to all client requests within one business day.

Drayton Valley, old oil & gas town going back to the fifties and still working on the future of Alberta oil.
A place near Cinthia & the rotten egg smelling place of Lodgepole, quite the history there and in No Jack too, challenging dealing with wax build-up in Oil wells.
Interesting that the other environmental tar expert was a paraffin worker, making candles for Suncor keeping facilities lit and warm, just wasn't aware of the nuggets of paraffin froth found in the tar deposits.
Never had the pleasure to work the candle makers' unit, they kept me in the big compressor buildings at U1 & U2.
Quit the career change from an honest earned paychecks, providing energy to millions of people, transition from earned paychecks to grants & handouts, taking that reliable energy away, for some wind & solar fantasy, now profiteering from the collective trough, communicating narratives for the progressive woke wef globalists, promoting agenda 2030 & the Schwaber's doctrine "you own nothing and you will be happy".
This is not the only transitioning the fringe don't agree with, but if the progressive message resonates, embrace it, but please don't involve me, not on my dime and keep it in the progressive safe space, away from the freedom to choose reliable fossil energy from Alberta and its great future, while keeping Alberta as natural as possible.

We had a well on our high school grounds. The future of Alberta oil: the school. has since been torn down and moved.

Oh, for the good old days.

Also, the spills table on this page shows the latest report on Richochet Oil Corp, Sept 15th.

Um, 'parafin froth'. A simple explanation for the 'rabid' fans.

Even my comments show the great advances made and are being made all the time to advance the future of Alberta's oil. From my seventies experiences in the Cinthia area when drilling a well straith down could take 6 months to today, hitting multiple pay zones in directional fashion in six weeks, now that is technology & efficiency we desperately need in our public institutions, who's activist union members are just demand the opposite, that will put Alberta's oil future in great danger.
Going back to your parafin comment, Paraffin is just a carbon chain that can manifest, separating or chemically speaking goes through phase change at certain fluid conditions, into candle wax that can restrict or even block the liquid hydrocarbon from flowing, if this happens to the oil in the production tubing of a pump jack, then there is NO pump JACK output. Thanks for the links on behalf of all the other commenters, here.
As noted my threshold is a page and the links provided most likely fits & passed the category of the ideoloques Gilbough & Butts progressive narrative approval process in support of their political ideology.
However I am open to the sharing of real field experiences, my degree, the school of hard knocks & look, listen and feel, combined with a hard drive full of common sense, important elementary trades that are very hard to find in the entitlement crowd. They are more interested in figuring out how not to get things done, rather than get'r done, playing right into the activists, narrative scientists, fake experts, bureaucrats, gatekeepers, rulers & regulators.
Hoping to read that frothing issues field report and find out what the exact fluid conditions were, when some of the fluid stream went through a phase change from a liquid to a solid, resulting the observation of frothing paraffin in your case. Unless this real field experience is just another "armchair QB" selective resource, from the yellow page scientists & experts.
If memory serves me well, there was an old process battery coming in from the south end of town (Mobil I believe), but can't recall an oil well in town, perhaps it was a water well by your school that must have been and old well from before the public water utility was available in drayton Valley.
Seeking the security of government payroll positions and then transitioning to activism, has been an effective tool for the progressives, using the confiscated cash to criticize the hands that are doing all the feeding,
Furthermore the lpc/ndp with their DEI, equality of outcome, identity politics and all the other unnatural social issues they create, have put the most inept progressive bureaucrats, rulers, regulators and gatekeepers in key positions of all public institutions and that shows starting right at the top of this government all the way down the bureaucratic hierarchy & the regime's patriarch.
I must admit if the laurentian & khalistani tag team can pull this one off, there is no future in Alberta's oil, but great future in the laurentian controlled Alberta located oil. Just wondering if Alberta's librarians will keep their safe space & payroll position, especially the ones not openly demonstrating and accepting the blind obedience & total conformity mandate. Better get that jab now.

If developing nations focused their efforts on assisting China to switch from Coal to NG, theoretically we could reduce GLOBAL emissions by 12.3%.

Which would be more meaningful to GLOBAL emissions reduction?

Canada reduces their global emissions from 1.5% to 1.0%?
Difference = 0.5%

Or

China reduces their emissions from 31.0% to 18.7%?
Difference = 12.3%

Once a rational assessment of Meaningful Emissions reduction has been completed, people will understand the importance of Alberta's fossil fuel production in the quest to decarbonize China and US.

Fuel switching will provide desired results.

Taxing Canadian consumers of fuel for China's Coal pollution is only adding to existing inflation problems.

Bringing this back up for the Liberal Klimate $cience Experts.

Seems they have yet to read it.

I LOVE ALBERTA OIL ! and you should too

[raft-cove]

You can't get the truth out of miserable people. They drone on with their crusades for months and years. This very thread was created to speak negatively about Alberta and its resources. Buddy will be dead and gone long before anything meaningful takes place.

The emissions problem has a viable answer that continues to be ignored by leftists simply because they don't want it to work.

Fuel switching.

You get China off coal and burning natural gas, you reduce global emissions by more than 12%.


Canada produces ONLY 1.5% of global emissions.

Whatever we pretend to do here in Canada doesn't move the needle, and the NDP/Liberal crowd know it.

and worst of all, they don't care, because they are accomplishing their main goal, and that's hurting poor people.
