L\u2019industrie p\u00e9troli\u00e8re du Canada atlantique influence consid\u00e9rablement l\u2019\u00e9conomie de la r\u00e9gion. Depuis\u00a01995, elle a g\u00e9n\u00e9r\u00e9 des investissements de 37\u00a0milliards de dollars et cr\u00e9\u00e9 plus de 12\u00a0000\u00a0emplois directs. Le forage au large des c\u00f4tes co\u00fbte cher toutefois. Pour soutenir la capacit\u00e9 de la Nouvelle-\u00c9cosse d\u2019attirer des investissements, il faut tout un arsenal d\u2019outils qui aideront \u00e0 contrer les risques de l\u2019exploration. Ce projet propose la g\u00e9nomique microbienne comme l\u2019un de ces outils.<\/p>\n
En termes simples, certaines bact\u00e9ries prolif\u00e8rent sur les hydrocarbures et se trouvent autour des suintements \u2013 l\u00e0 o\u00f9 le p\u00e9trole affleure naturellement sur le fond marin. Ces bact\u00e9ries peuvent indiquer la pr\u00e9sence de p\u00e9trole sous la surface.<\/p>\n
L\u2019\u00e9quipe de M.\u00a0Hubert, Ph.\u00a0D., mettra au point de nouveaux outils g\u00e9nomiques qui serviront \u00e0 identifier les bact\u00e9ries a\u00e9robies, ana\u00e9robies et thermophiles associ\u00e9es aux suintements. Adam MacDonald dirigera la collecte des carottes de sondage, l\u2019analyse g\u00e9ochimique et l\u2019int\u00e9gration des r\u00e9sultats pour mieux comprendre les caract\u00e9ristiques et les origines du p\u00e9trole. Cette avanc\u00e9e ajoute une couche de donn\u00e9es pr\u00e9cieuse aux donn\u00e9es g\u00e9ologiques traditionnelles dont on se sert pour contrer les risques de l\u2019exploration au large des c\u00f4tes.<\/p>\n
L\u2019\u00e9quipe de projet se concentrera initialement sur les parties sud-ouest et centre du talus n\u00e9o-\u00e9cossais et passera ensuite \u00e0 d\u2019autres secteurs au large des c\u00f4tes de la Nouvelle-\u00c9cosse. Les r\u00e9sultats ajouteront aux connaissances sur les ressources p\u00e9troli\u00e8res au large des c\u00f4tes, acquises gr\u00e2ce au projet initial Play Fairway Analysis men\u00e9 par le minist\u00e8re n\u00e9o-\u00e9cossais de l\u2019\u00c9nergie en\u00a02011. Cette initiative a contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 attirer plus de deux milliards de dollars en nouveaux engagements d\u2019exploration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
