Drilling and Production Guidelines
The main areas of change are:
1) The requirement for operators to develop and implement a management system to ensure compliance with the Act and the Regulations. This system is intended to ensure that operators have documented policies and procedures for how they will carry out their activities while ensuring compliance and safety, environmental protection and prevention of waste (resource conservation). The inclusion of management systems requirements strengthens the existing regulatory framework and is consistent with other international jurisdictions and with other high-hazard industries.
2) Government‘s role in management of safety, environmental protection and prevention of waste shifts from prescribing how companies must operate to identifying clear regulatory goals and objectives while ensuring that companies have processes in place to effectively identify and manage these matters.
3) The current regulations contain provisions related to the types of programs that require an authorization, specify several conditions of authorizations, and state that an operator must comply with authorizations and conditions. However, the requirement for an authorization, the authority for a Board to attach conditions to an authorization and the requirement to comply with authorizations, including conditions, are in the Acts. Accordingly, these types of provisions are not repeated in the Regulations.
4) Standards are, and will remain, important tools in the oil and gas industry. The existing regulations contain several standards incorporated by reference. However, all references to standards have been moved out of the Regulations to allow for innovation, project/ regional specificity and timely use of new standards.
5) The specific approvals required for drilling programs and production projects that are subject to authorization include:
a) well approvals;
b) flow system, flow allocation procedure and flow calculation procedures;
c) formation flow tests; and
d) commingled production.
Regulations are statutory instruments. Compliance is mandatory. Non-compliance is subject to the penalties specified in the Acts. The onus is on the operator to achieve compliance with the Regulations and to be able to demonstrate compliance to the appropriate Board. The means to achieve compliance may vary from operator to operator. The Board intends to periodically verify compliance with the Regulations by auditing systems, specifications, procedures and records.
