The Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) will hold a public hearing of applications 1903071, 1903493, 157592, and 157633. This notice sets out how to request to participate in the hearing.

Description of the Applications
InPlay Oil Corp. applied under sections 2.020 and 7.001 of the Oil and Gas Conservation Rules to drill and operate two wells on a multiwell pad and to construct and operate a multiwell oil satellite in Legal Subdivision (LSD) 14, Section 21, Township 41, Range 7, West of the 5th Meridian. The proposed wells would be directionally drilled to bottomhole locations at LSD 13-28-041-07W5M and LSD 14-28-041-07W5M, targeting crude oil in the Cardium Formation. The proposed satellite would separate and measure production from the wells. The wells and satellite would not contain hydrogen sulphide (H2S).
InPlay Oil Corp. has also applied under Part 4 of the Pipeline Act to construct and operate two associated pipelines to transport oil effluent containing no H2S from LSD 14-21-041-7W5M to an existing facility in LSD 01-28-041-07W5M. The proposed pipelines would be 1.2 kilometres (km) long and have maximum outside diameters of 88.9 millimetres. The wells, satellite, and pipelines would be located about 16.8 km north of Rocky Mountain House (see map).

Is this a public process?
Yes. Section 49 of the Rules of Practice requires that all documents and information filed for a proceeding be placed on the public record. If you file a submission, you must not include any personal information that you do not want to appear on or are not authorized to put on the public record. Section 49(2) of the Rules of Practice states how to apply to the AER for an order to keep information confidential.
If my request to participate is approved, can I apply to get reimbursed for hearing-related costs?
If you are participating in a hearing, you may be eligible to have some of your costs paid. Directive 031: REDA Energy Cost Claims explains how and when to apply.
What is outside of the AER’s jurisdiction?
Compensation for land use is not dealt with by the AER and should be referred to the Alberta Surface Rights Board.
