Companies profiting from the province’s energy resources must safely and responsibly remediate, abandon (“decommission”) and reclaim their energy infrastructure, and development sites. Our requirements help ensure that wells, pipelines, mines, and facilities are remediated in a timely manner when incidents occur, that they are taken out of service safely, with no harm to the public or the environment and at the end of a project’s life cycle, that the site is reclaimed.
