Alberta Energy Resources Previous HitDataNext Hit – Past, Present and Future: Abstract

Emile J. Morin1, Joan M. Ethier2

This paper provides a review of the methods of acquiring, Previous HitprocessingNext Hit and disseminating Previous HitbasicNext Hit energy resource Previous HitdataNext Hit within the Province of Alberta.

For many years, the Alberta Government, through the Energy Resources Conservation Board, has had a policy of encouraging dissemination of energy resources Previous HitdataNext Hit. Previous HitDataNext Hit in this context is the non-proprietary, non-confidential, and generally non-interpretive Previous HitdataNext Hit required by engineers, geologists, accountants and administrators in both industry and government.

The traditional method of acquiring and disseminating the Previous HitdataNext Hit was oriented towards visual records with manual transcription of Previous HitdataNext Hit to summary reports. Since approximately 1966, both the Energy Resources Conservation Board and industry have developed computer assisted methods. Although these function reasonably well, the systems presently in operation are limited to the oil and gas area. They are not a practical source of Previous HitdataNext Hit for the small to medium-size company and have limited usefulness to the larger companies. Additionally, Previous HitdataNext Hit for coal and oil sands in computer processable form is not presently available.

With greatly increased interest in non-renewable energy resources, including oil and gas as well as coal and oil sands, the need to improve existing procedures has been recognized. The Energy Resources Previous HitDataNext Hit System has been proposed to develop a centralized computer assisted means of acquiring and disseminating Previous HitbasicNext Hit energy resource Previous HitdataTop. The objectives and activities to date of ERDS are reviewed in some detail.
