Directive 081 – Feedback
In this bulletin, the Alberta Energy Regulator (“AER”) announced that it was seeking public feedback on a new edition of Directive 081: Water Disposal Limits and Reporting Requirements for Thermal In Situ Oil Sands Schemes (“Directive 081”). The AER indicated that the proposed changes encourage the use of alternative water sources, with the goal of maximizing the use of high-quality nonsaline makeup water at thermal in situ operations.
The current and draft editions of Directive 081 are available on the AER website.
