Bulletin – Directive 048
The AER announced that effective immediately, the following regulatory documents are rescinded:
(a) IL 94-02: Injection and Disposal Wells (“IL 94-02”); and
(b) Directive 048: Monthly Custom Treating Plant Statement (“Directive 048”).
The AER explained that the requirements of IL 94-02 are already contained within Directive 051: Injection and Disposal Wells and Part 6 of the Oil and Gas Conservation Rules, and that the data required by Directive 048 is collected through one of its data services, Petrinex (the supporting calculations are also found in AER Manual 011: How to Submit Volumetric Data to the AER).
The AER noted that IL 94-02 and Directive 048 were therefore duplicative and unnecessary.
