Event 2nd Oil Sands Water Management 2012

Oil Sands Water Management Initiative 2012: The Only Event That Brings Together The Canadian Oil Sands Industry To Drive Forward The Very Latest Advancements In Water Sourcing, Treatment & Recycling To Maximize Profitability & Minimize Costs For In Situ Oil Sands Production

The pace of investment and development in the oil sands industry has accelerated in recent years and, as E&P companies in Canada look to maximize oil sands production, they are dramatically up-scaling in situ extraction methods to exploit the estimated 1.3 billions barrels of oil in place. The major challenge now for E&Ps is guaranteeing that there is enough water to ensure in situ production can continue in both the immediate and long term. Water sourcing, treatment and re-use are therefore becoming increasingly vital foci among executives and senior experts across the Canadian oil sands industry including Shell, Nexen Inc, Husky Energy, CNRL, Cenovus Energy, Osum Oil Sands and Ivanhoe Energy – all companies which will be addressing the most cost-effective solutions for managing water resources at every stage of in situ oil sands production in Calgary in February.

The 2nd Annual Oil Sands Water Management 2012 Initiative will be taking place on February 28-29 at the Calgary Convention Centre and is the latest in the world leading series designed by oil sands operators for water management. The first event held in January 2011 attracted over 300 delegates and was the first event to hear from operators themselves presenting the strategies and processes they are actively deploying to cost-effectively ensure they are developing global strategies for sourcing, treating, re-using and disposing of water resources in in situ production.

Technical experts at the event, for the first time since the 2011 congress, will be focusing on providing new and innovative solutions to the critical water management challenges in Canadian oil sands in situ production including:

WATER SOURCING: Understanding the optimal strategies for sourcing water from regional aquifers in the most timely and cost-effective way

RECYCLING STRATEGIES: Examining strategies for driving down the costs of water recycling to increase recyclability and minimize net water demand for SAGD

OIL WATER SEPARATION: Utilizing emerging de-oiling and water treatment technologies to improve recyclability and move towards a zero-liquid discharge future

CHEMICAL TREATMENT: Examining what advances are being made to optimize the chemical treatment process whilst driving down costs

WATER DISPOSAL: Determining economically viable disposal methods for water and solid waste in the Athabasca region

REDUCING WATER REQUIREMENTS: Examining data showing how companies have significantly increased water retention and reduced the volumes required for production

PUBLIC RELATIONS: Improving the perception of environmental and water management issues for in situ processes in oil sands production
