Industry representatives to host oil and gas workshop in Cochrane by Sylvia Cole, November 26, 2012, Rockyview Weekly
An information session on oil and gas development in Alberta will be held in Cochrane, Dec. 6. The session is an overview to familiarize area residents with energy development regulation, explained Darin Barter, communications for the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) in an email. The information session does not cover one particular topic and no announcement will be made, he added. It’s meant to provide information on regulatory processes and regulations relating to oil and gas development in the province, including consultation and notification, flaring and venting, water use and management, fluid storage and disposal. Representatives from the ERCB, Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resources and Rocky View County will be available at information booths from 4 to 7 p.m. for one-on-one discussions. A presentation on Energy Resource Development will begin at 7 p.m. followed by a question-and-answer period. This information session is one of several the ERCB regulatory staff participate in on a regular basis across the province, explained Barter. The event will be held at the Cochrane RancheHouse, 101 RancheHouse Road.
