CALGARY,spill your guts.org ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Jul 7, 2015) - The Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) has directed Apache Canada Ltd to address the integrity of its pipeline management system, implement recommendations from third party audits, and submit plans for future action.

Pipeline Act

Pipeline Rules
. Between June 1, 2013, and October 29, 2014, Apache reported six pipeline incidents that caused loss or damage to public lands and resulted in or had the potential to impact the environment. The company failed to appropriately report and remediate some of the sites as required by the AER.
The AER has directed Apache to take steps necessary to address issues with its internal pipeline management system. The AER has issued an administrative penalty of $16,500 and four orders:
Oil and Gas Conservation Act
section 22 order

enforcement order
Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act
enforcement order and environmental protection order
The orders direct the company to:
Complete a third-party audit of its pipeline integrity management system by December 31, 2015, and implement recommendations by December 31, 2016.
Submit, for AER approval, a plan to prevent future releases for all its high risk pipelines by July 31, 2015, for implementation by September 31, 2015.
Implement recommendations specific to the Zama operating field by December 31, 2015.
Submit, for AER approval, a communication plan that describes, at a minimum, monthly progress updates on its website.
The
Compliance Dashboard
has been updated; two incident investigations remain open and may be subject to enforcement actions.
