Bulletin – Subsurface Order
The AER has issued Subsurface Order No. 1A, and rescinded the original Subsurface Order No. 1 regarding the Montney-Lower Doig. The new order expands the area set out in Subsurface Order No. 1, which was previously announced as part of Bulletin 2015-06. The terms and conditions of the Subsurface Order No. 1A remain the same as Subsurface Order No. 1 with two exceptions:
(a) Licensees must take drill-cutting samples at an interval frequency no greater than 20 metres within the Montney-Lower Doig geological zone; and
(b) The applicable area of the Subsurface Order No. 1A has expanded to include the original Subsurface Order No. 1, and an area to the southwest.
