Review of Underground Coal Gasification with Reference to Alberta's Potential
Alberta contains vast coal resources at shallow depths that facilitate economical mine-mouth power generation; however there are greater resources at depth that are currently not economic to mine. ...
What is Shale Gas? An Introduction to Shale-Gas Geology in Alberta
The purpose of this report is to define and describe gas shales and discuss Alberta’s potential for shale gas production.
Shale is traditionally regarded as a potential source rock and seal/cap ro...
Gold, platinum and diamond placer deposits in alluvial gravels, Whitecourt, Alberta - SPE 089
Significant amounts of placer gold, platinum and rare diamonds have been found in gravel deposits on the northern outskirts of Whitecourt, Alberta. These deposits are currently being worked for the...

Importance of Geoscience Information in the Implementation of Closed-Loop Ground-Source Heat-Pump Sy
Albertans increasingly make use of ground-source geothermal energy to heat and cool houses, farms and public and commercial buildings. Alberta Geological Survey (AGS) therefore initiated a project ...
Description of the Process for Defining the Base of Groundwater Protection
In 2005, Alberta Environment (AENV) commissioned Alberta Geological Survey (AGS) of Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) to map the base of groundwater protection (BGP) across Alberta. The BG...
Compilation of Alberta Groundwater Information from Existing Maps and Data Sources
Alberta Geological Survey (AGS) has been involved in mapping the province’s geological framework for almost 90 years. Much of this map information can be used to help develop a broad understanding ...

Preliminary Water Well Sampling to Assess the Uranium Potential in the Whiskey Gap Area of Southern
The Milk River Ridge–Whiskey Gap area has seen both historic and recent exploration for sandstonehosted uranium deposits. Within the past two years, mineral exploration industry reports have stated...
Mapping Millimetre-Scale Ground Deformation over the Frank Slide and South Peak of Turtle Mountain,
The Frank landslide was a catastrophic rock avalanche that took place in 1903 on the eastern slope of Turtle Mountain located in the southwestern Alberta, Canada. It buried a portion of the Town of...
A Study of Peridotitic Garnet Xenocryst Compositions from Selected Ultramafic Bodies in the Norther
Electron microprobe (EMPA) major-element analyses of peridotitic garnet xenocrysts from the northern Alberta kimberlite province typically have well-defined lherzolitic paragenesis with geochemical...
Subsurface Characterization of the Brazeau Nisku Q Pool Reservoir for Acid Gas Injection
The experience gained since the start of the first acid-gas injection operation in Canada in 1989 shows that, from an engineering point of view, acid-gas disposal is a well-established technology. ...
