RESPEC PROJECT

In 2020, RESPEC managed the full-procurement drilling of an exploration well with vibrating wire piezometers (VWPs) near Lanigan, Saskatchewan. RESPEC designed the drilling program to ensure that all of Nutrien’s data-collection requirements were met while maintaining cost efficiency. The following briefly summarizes the scope of work:

• Obtained the drilling license, completed the site survey, and coordinated the surface preparation
• Solicited bids for all services and provided an authorization for expenditure cost estimate to Nutrien
• Managed subcontractors and paid invoices on behalf of Nutrien
• Tracked the costs and schedule
• Obtained 99 meters of core from the Dawson Bay and Prairie Evaporite with 98 percent recovery
• Determined core was intact and suitable for assay testing
• Acquired geophysical logging and DST data
• Installed 16 VWPs and confirmed they worked correctly.

Zero safety and environmental incidents occurred during this project.
