The Petroleum Technology Research Centre (PTRC) is a "not-for-profit research and development organization" that was founded in 1998 by "Natural Resources Canada, Saskatchewan Industry and Resources, Saskatchewan Research Council and the University of Regina, with support from the western Canadian oil and gas industry."[1]

PTRC is undertaking the Weyburn-Midale CO2 Monitoring and Storage Project, which it describes as an "8-year $80 million international project studies CO2 injection and storage underground in depleted oil fields. The project’s Final Phase (2005-2011) is building on the successes of the First Phase (2000 – 2004) to deliver the framework necessary to encourage implementation of CO2 geological storage on a worldwide basis."[2]
