The
Alberta Energy Research Institute was established August 1, 2000,
by the Alberta Science and Research Authority Act and is responsible
for all energy-related research for the province. AERI assumed responsibility
for the oil and gas research programs previously administered by the
Alberta
Oil Sands Technology and Research Authority (AOSTRA).
AOSTRA's role was to:
- Promote research and development into the technological methods
required for the efficient and economic recovery and processing
of crude bitumen and other oil sands deposits, and the effective
and economic recovery of crude oil through the use of enhanced
recovery methods.
- Promote research into the technological methods required to
ensure acceptable environmental standards during and after recovery
and processing operations.
- Promote and implement solutions to technological problems impeding
the development of production capacity to meet the demand for
crude oil, synthetic crude oil, and products derived from crude
oil.
