Le projet gazier Mackenzie (PGM) est un projet sans précédent dans l'histoire du Nord, que ce soit en raison de sa taille, de sa portée ou des possibilités qu'il présente pour les résidants du Nord et toute la population canadienne. Le PGM consisterait en la construction d'installations et l'exploitation de trois champs de gaz naturel dans le delta du Mackenzie, situé dans les Territoires du Nord Ouest; l'établissement d'un réseau collecteur de gaz naturel et de liquides de gaz naturel; la construction d'installations de traitement près d'Inuvik; et l'aménagement de pipelines qui transporteront le gaz naturel et les liquides de gaz naturel vers le sud, le long de la vallée du Mackenzie.

Record 6 2010-12-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Soil Science
  • Geology
DEF

The topmost layer of soil that is subject to freeze/thaw alternations and lies above the permafrost.

CONT

The active layer overlies the permafrost, and comprises earth materials that thaw from the surface and refreeze each year. It forms the interface between permafrost and the atmosphere and biosphere. The thickness of the active layer influences vegetation and soil conditions, thereby influencing hunting, gathering, forestry and agriculture. Thickness, texture and moisture content of the active layer affects foundation conditions, transportation and construction. Changes in the active layer can contribute to problems of slope instability, with subsequent impact on transportation facilities and other structures. Therefore, it is important to understand the manner in which the active layer varies locally and regionally, and to understand its response to environmental change.

OBS

permafrost: Permanently frozen ground; generally with reference to a permanently frozen layer at some depth below the ground surface.

OBS

active layer: term used at Natural Resources Canada - Earth Sciences Sector.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Science du sol
  • Géologie
DEF

Couche superficielle du sol soumise aux alternances de gel et de dégel au-dessus d'un pergélisol.

CONT

Le mollisol repose sur le pergélisol et, d'autre part, l'atmosphère et la biosphère. L'épaisseur du mollisol influe sur la végétation et les conditions du sol, et par conséquent sur la chasse, la cueillette, la foresterie et l'agriculture. L'épaisseur, la texture et la teneur en humidité du mollisol influent sur la stabilité des fondations, le transport et la construction. Les changements subis par le mollisol peuvent causer l'instabilité des talus et avoir des répercussions sur les installations de transport et d'autres structures. Il est donc important de comprendre comment varie, à l'échelle locale et régionale, le mollisol et la façon dont il réagit aux changements environnementaux.

CONT

L'envergure des dommages aux infrastructures dans le Nord du Québec causés par tout changement dans la couche active du pergélisol, sa capacité portante et l'instabilité des versants et du relief doit être évaluée [...]

Subject field(s)
  • Storage of Oil and Natural Gas
CONT

Natural gas is most commonly stored under pressure in three different types of underground facilities. The most common type of storage facility is depleted oil and natural gas fields. Converting a field from production to storage has the advantage of existing infrastructure such as wells, gathering systems, and pipeline connections. The second most common type of natural gas storage facility is natural aquifers, which are frequently used in the Midwest. Natural aquifers are suitable for gas storage if water-bearing sedimentary rock is overlain with an impermeable cap rock but usually require more base gas than depleted oil fields. Caverns constructed in natural salt deposits are the third most common type of storage facility and are used primarily along the Gulf Coast.

OBS

The USCs of a natural gas stream are methane, ethane, propane, butane and pentanes plus. Each facility at which royalties are calculated is called a royalty trigger point and is typically a gas plant or gathering system. Applied to each trigger facility is the Facility Average Royalty Rate(FARR%), which is the weighted average royalty rate for gas and products subject to Alberta Crown royalties at the facilities at the facility.

La méthodologie générale utilisée pour déterminer la valeur et les volumes mis en vente, sur laquelle les redevances sont basées, sera similaire à celle décrite pour déterminer les redevances de base dans les « Offshore Petroleum Royalty Regulations of Nova Scotia » (règlements pour les redevances sur les produits pétroliers de la Nouvelle Ecosse), et en vigueur à la date de la signature de cet accord cadre. Les redevances seront payées en espèces à SPM sur une base mensuelle.
