Groundwater modelling to assess long-term water supply viability from a regional brackish aquifer for a SAGD project, supporting lifecycle planning and regulatory approval.
A brackish aquifer required evaluation to confirm its ability to supply water for the full lifecycle of a SAGD operation, with limited existing production data.
Alta Tech developed a regional groundwater model supported by detailed geological and hydrogeological characterization.
Work included:
The calibrated model confirmed sufficient aquifer capacity to support project demands, providing confidence in project viability.
