Today we released a new edition of Directive 059: Well Drilling and Completion Data Filing Requirements and a new companion Manual 027: Well Drilling and Completion Data Submission System.
The directive was restructured, and procedural guidance was moved to the manual. These changes are administrative, and no new requirements have been created. Redundant and outdated content has been removed. Information on daily records of operations and personal information, which resided in Bulletin 2010-43, has been incorporated into the directive. In the manual, fracture fluid water source types have been updated to align with the Water Conservation Policy for Upstream Oil and Gas Operations.
Several other documents have also been consolidated into the directive and manual and have been discontinued:
- Well Drilling Completion User Guide
- Modify Packer Operation (DDS Completion Submission Enhancement from April 1, 2012)
- Directive 059 FAQs
The revised edition of Directive 059 is available on our website at www.aer.ca > Regulating Development > Rules and Directives > Directives. The new edition of Manual 027 is available on our website at www.aer.ca > Regulating Development > Rules and Directives > Manuals.
