Notice of Application
Application 1951779
TAG Developments Ltd.
Strathcona County
The Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) has received application 1951779.
Description of the Application
TAG Developments Ltd. (TAG) c/o Wilson Law Office has applied under Section 33(1) and Section 33(2) of the Pipeline Act for the AER to order the alteration of one pipeline licensed to Chemtrade Logistics Inc. (Chemtrade). Line 5086-1 is an operating sour natural gas pipeline. The location of the pipeline to be altered is:
Line 5086-1: 01-03-055-22W4 to 07-03-055-22W4 Substance Sour Natural Gas, 999.0 mol/kmol H2S
See: Letter to AER Appendix
TAG is requesting the AER direct Chemtrade to install emergency shutdown valves on Line 5086-1: the number of emergency shutdown valves to be sufficient to lower the calculated H2S release volume of the pipeline to below 300 m3. TAG also requests that the AER direct that Chemtrade should bear the costs for installing the emergency shutdown valves.
TAG submits that this alteration would allow for a reclassification of Line 5086-1 to that of a level 1 sour gas pipeline. TAG also submits that the setback resulting from such a reclassification to level 1 would be the pipeline right of way.
