Wells – Requirements
On April 28, 2023, the AER released a new edition of Directive 051: Injection and Disposal Wells – Well Classifications, Completions, Logging, and Testing Requirements. Updates to the new edition reflect the AER’s change in 2013 from the Energy Resource Conservation Board to the Alberta Energy Regulator and the new mandate under the Responsible Energy Development Act. The Directive also incorporates requirements for geothermal resource development and references to the Geothermal Resource Development Rules.
