Resource Management

Learn more about what our geoscience experts do and our resource management efforts.

Resource management and conservation of offshore oil and gas resources are some of our key responsibilities and include:

  • Conducting Geological, Reservoir Management and Resource Assessment Studies - Conducting geological, reservoir management and resource assessment studies to improve the understanding of the geology and oil and gas resources in the Canada-Nova Scotia offshore area. Learn more here.
     
  • Conducting Geoscience Studies in Support of a petroleum-related or renewable energy Call for Bids - These are focused geoscience studies describing the specific geological features and exploration opportunities on each petroleum-related or renewable energy-related Call for Bids parcel(s).
     
  • Reviewing Industry Exploration, Development and Production Activities - Reviewing industry exploration, development and production activities to ensure compliance with the CNSOER's legislation and regulations. 
     
  • Resource Conservation - Ensuring offshore oil and gas resources are developed, managed, measured and produced using international best practices and in a manner that ensures waste of the resource does not occur. Waste means that companies operating a production project must ensure they produce all economically recoverable oil and gas. Learn more here.
