Purpose of this Directive
This directive contains performance report content, frequency, and formatting requirements for all thermal in situ oil sands schemes in the Athabasca, Cold Lake, and Peace River Oil Sands Areas. It applies only to activities governed by the Oil Sands Conservation Act and the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act.
Performance reports provide a public-facing, annual summary of operations over a 12-month period. The primary purpose of performance reports is monitoring and evaluating scheme performance. This directive may additionally be used as a regulatory tool to assess risk, monitor incident rates, support approval conditions, and respond to the successes and challenges of in situ operations.
