- Approval
- Approved with conditions
- Conditions
- The conditions imposed in the licences are summarized below. Conditions generally are requirements in addition to or otherwise expanding upon existing regulations and guidelines. An applicant must comply with conditions or it is in breach of its approval and subject to enforcement action by the EUB. Enforcement of an approval includes enforcement of the conditions attached to that licence. Sanctions imposed for the breach of such conditions may include the suspension of the approval, resulting in the shut-in of a facility. 1) The Board directs Compton to ensure that the flares are designed and operated so that flare emissions from uncombusted sour gas does not result in off-lease odours. If repeat off-lease odours are traced to poor flare performance, the Board may require Compton to adopt measures to ensure adequate combustion of the sour gas. 2) The Board directs Compton to ensure that gas and H2S detection, reporting, and correction procedures are specifically included in its operating practices and in any third-party operations contracts. 3) The Board directs Compton to provide a summary description of its operations and facility integrity (maintenance) management system for the proposed project prior to initiation of operations at the 4-11 and 5-1 batteries. The report must include contact information that will be provided to local residents and a description of Compton’s procedures for responding to public complaints. The report must detail how any arrangements with third-party operating contractors will address Compton’s operations management system and procedures for responding to public complaints. 4) The Board directs Compton to conduct an exercise of its drilling ERP prior to entering the sour zone and of its production operations ERP prior to placing the 13-2 and 5-1 wells on production. The Board further directs Compton to afford the public and EUB staff the opportunity to actively participate in both these exercises. The Board directs Compton to test all key components of its ERPs, including chain of command, public notification, communications equipment, and linkages, including outside services, evacuation procedures, and ignition procedures, to satisfy EUB staff that the systems are in order for immediate implementation. Further, the Board directs Compton to satisfy EUB staff that the exercise was successfully carried out prior to entering the sour zone of the 13-2 well.

- Conditions
- The conditions imposed in the licences are summarized below. Conditions generally are requirements in addition to or otherwise expanding upon existing regulations and guidelines. An applicant must comply with conditions or it is in breach of its approval and subject to enforcement action by the EUB. Enforcement of an approval includes enforcement of the conditions attached to that licence. Sanctions imposed for the breach of such conditions may include the suspension of the approval, resulting in the shut-in of a facility. 1) Burmis must have an accredited soil inspector on site during pipeline construction, topsoil salvaging operations, and cleanup of the pipelines, and the operator must maintain the records addressing this condition for the life of the pipeline. 2) The Board directs Burmis to test the Skocdopoles’ and Mr. Ohnysty’s water wells prior to the drilling of the 16-23 and 10-25 wells to establish a baseline for the water quantity and quality. The testing procedures on the artesian wells must be appropriate for artesian wells. Elk Point must provide copies of the resulting data to the Skocdopoles and Mr. Ohnysty. Burmis or its successor licensees must maintain these records for the life of these wells. 3) Burmis is required to notify AENV of the proposed 16-23 well and undertake a hydrological study of the creek in this area that establishes the 1-in-100-year floodplain level and supply a copy to AENV. If the well site is within the 1-in-100-year floodplain, Burmis must either move the well surface location out of the floodplain or make application to AENV pursuant to the Water Act for any approval required by AENV, such as raising the well site above the 1-in-100-year floodplain or undertaking any other mitigative measures directed by AENV. Note that if the well surface location were to be moved, a new Guide 56 application would be required. 4) Not more than 30 days following the completion of each of conditions 1, 2, and 3 above, Burmis must provide the Board with a written statement summarizing how it fulfilled that condition, including sufficient detail to allow the Board to assess whether Burmis has met the requirements of the condition. The information provided will form part of the Board’s record of these applications. 5) With respect to the 16-23 battery, all storage tanks, regardless of design or size, must be aboveground and comply with Section 5.3.2.1 of Guide 55. Connection for truck loading lines must be located within the tank secondary containment area. The Board requires that spill containment be provided for the well area, including any pumping equipment, separation, and other production equipment, and the truck loading area. Stormwater retention must be provided for the areas specified and must have capacity for runoff from a 24-hour precipitation event of a 1-in-10-year return probability. The Board requires that the applicant submit site drawings and runoff containment design calculations to the EUB Applications Branch for approval prior to commencement of construction.

- APPENDIX 2 SUMMARY OF COMMITMENTS The Board notes throughout the decision report that Artemis has undertaken to conduct certain activities in connection with its operations that are not strictly required by EUB regulations or guidelines. These undertakings are described as commitments and are summarized below. It is the Board’s view that when a company makes commitments of this nature, it has satisfied itself that these activities will benefit both the project and the public, and the Board takes these commitments into account when arriving at its decision. The Board expects the applicant, having made the commitments, to fully carry out the undertaking or advise the EUB if, for whatever reasons, it cannot fulfill a commitment. The EUB would then assess whether the circumstances regarding the failed commitment warrant a review of the original approval. The Board also notes that the affected parties also have the right to request a review of the original approval if commitments made by the applicant remain unfulfilled. COMMITMENTS BY ARTEMIS
- Artemis commits to using an incinerator during well testing if in-line testing is not feasible.
- Artemis commits to surveying the actual kelly bushing elevation following rig-up. The data will be used to recalculate the depths on the geological prognosis for the drilling of the 15-10 well.
- Artemis commits to having a well site geologist present on site and increasing the geological sampling interval from every 5 m to every 2 m from -560 m subsea (SS) to total depth.
- Artemis commits to using a gas detector on site.
- Artemis commits to checking geolograph and pipe tallies before the drilling depth reaches -560 mSS, and if significant discrepancies are apparent, Artemis will trip out the drill string and retally back into the hole.
- Artemis commits to control drilling practices below -560 m SS, with reduced penetration rates from -560 m SS to total depth, to allow enhanced sampling intervals, improved gas detection accuracy, and an accurate determination of when the shale separating the bottom of the Lower Mannville sandstone channel from the Ellerslie G (if present) has been entered.

- perform the drilling, completion, and workovers of the wells as if they were classified as critical wells for the duration of the ERPs;
- minimize duration of flaring whenever possible;
- suspend operations if safe to do so during sour operations if any egress roads inside the EPZs become impassable;
- drill pilot holes on the 4-27 well site to confirm where the gravel seam(s) are located, and then drill and set conductor pipe and cement to surface below the gravel seam to ensure integrity prior to continuing with the rest of the surface hole operation;
- relocate residents who reside within the EPZ during drilling and completion operations, should those residents advise that they wish to be relocated;
- incorporate sensitive or interested individuals who reside outside of the EPZs into Highpine’s site-specific or production ERPs;
- notify residents in the ERPs prior to entering the Nisku zone at least 24 hours in advance;
- ignite within 15 minutes of an uncontrolled release;
- continue to work with Parkland School Division to address safety questions for not only these applications, but for all of the development proposed in the area;
- hold a public meeting to review the ERPs and answer any additional questions that the public may have;
- hold an ERP exercise on the area production ERP; and
- use existing infrastructure wherever possible to minimize the proliferation of facilities.
