Session 2: Injection, Seismicity, and Pressure: Evaluating Performance, Risk, and Subsurface Response

05 May 2026

Session Chairs: Leo Chan, Ovintiv; Mary-Ellen Donais, R360 Environmental Solutions Canada; Fahim Thobani, Ovintiv

Injection sits at the intersection of operations, subsurface uncertainty, and public and regulatory scrutiny - particularly as regional seismic sensitivity continues to rise. This session showcases collaborative produced‑water management strategies, hands-on methods for analyzing injectors and reinjection/waterflood analogs, and the contribution of the North Montney velocity model in strengthening pressure and seismic understanding to support safer, more resilient injection planning.

Presentations:

Balancing Disposal, Seismicity and Sustainability; A Collaborative Approach to Produced Water Management
Shawn Maxwell, Ovintiv

An Overview of Practical Analysis and Analog Data for Water Injectors; Waterfloods and Produced Water Reinjection
Richard Baker, BRE Subsurface

Development of the Northern Montney Velocity Model & its Impact on Water Disposal Operations
Paige Snelling, Nanometrics
