Oil and Gas
Intrinsik has extensive experience in the oil and gas sector and has conducted assessments for a diverse array of oil and gas activities, specifically as these activities relate to potential risks to the environment and human health.
Examples of these activities include:
- Oil sands operations (mining and in situ projects)
- Drilling, completions & testing, and production stages of oil and gas wells (sour gas and shale gas)
- Decommissioning of well sites, gas plants, battery sites, compressor stations and retail sites (contaminated sites)
- Upgrading and refining of petroleum products (e.g., bitumen upgraders and petroleum refineries)
- Accidental releases (e.g., pipeline, facility, tanker)
Services:
- Human Health Risk Assessment
- Toxicology and Hazard Assessment
- Exposure Modelling
- Biomonitoring
- Development of “responsible products programs” (e.g., fracturing fluids)
- Public Consultation and Risk Communication
- Ecological Risk Assessment (including livestock health assessments)
- Country Foods Assessment
- Health Impact Assessment
- Expert Testimony
Intrinsik continues to be a leader in applying the best available knowledge and methods to all its assessments of oil and gas related projects. Our scientists can effectively address issues related to the potential impacts of oil and gas operations on air, water, land, and biota.
