ERCB denies Penn West appeal of high-risk enforcement action

摘要

Penn West Petroleum Ltd. has lost its second appeal to the Alberta Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) of High-Risk Enforcement Action 2 taken against it in relation to an April 2008 pipeline failure in the Mitsue area. In a ruling upholding the decision by a board enforcement advisor to deny the appeal, ERCB board member Michael Bruni found that actions and inactions on the part of Penn West contributed to its failure to prevent the pipeline failure that was the subject of the enforcement.
