Regulator probing Peace River heavy oil odour concerns

摘要

The Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) has initiated its first proceeding under the province's Responsible Energy Development Act to investigate and make recommendations about odours and emissions associated with heavy oil operations in the Peace River area. "There have been hundreds of complaints about odours over the last few years," Bob Curran, manager of public affairs for AER, said. "We have been doing everything we can within the regulatory framework and, in fact, companies in that area have exceeded regulations," he said.
