Fundamentals of producing energy from the subsurface covering the Chemical Engineering and Geological Engineering practice. Canada's role in global energy, including oil and gas, and the relationship to energy transition are explored in detail. Global and Canadian political societal forces together with business practices are covered. Exploration, recovery, processing, transportation, business expansion and policy issues will be addressed through guest lectures and case studies. Environmental issues including emissions reduction, indigenous relations, and the evolving technologies of geothermal energy, CCUS, and direct lithium extraction from oilfield brines are explored and discussed. The use of industry software (geoScout) is used to identify opportunities to optimize resource extraction in a hands on project. K3.5(Lec: Yes, Lab: No, Tut: Yes)
