This article provides an assessment of how the findings of the Alberta Court of Appeal in OMERS Energy v. Alberta (Energy Resources Conservation Board) compare and conflict with the approach historically taken by Canadian courts addressing the capability of a well and related issues. The authors then provide an analysis of uncertainties created by the findings of the Court and discuss the implications of the decision for the upstream oil and gas industry.

This article highlights regulatory and legislative developments during the period of May 2007 through April 2008 that are of interest to oil and gas lawyers. The article primarily examines decisions and other related jurisprudence of the National Energy Board and the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board, the latter of which was split into the Energy Resources Conservation Board and the Alberta Utilities Commission on 1 January 2008. Additionally, the article details policy and legislative developments affecting the National Energy Board and the two new Alberta regulators. Regulatory developments at the Alberta Surface Rights Board and in other jurisdictions are also considered.

One of the essential tools for management of the sectors including the oil and gas sector is the legislative and institutional structure. This paper reviews the overview of the current legal and institutional framework for energy resources development, with weight on oil and gas resources and their critical significance to socio-economic and political development. It affords a comparative account of some new features and on-going trends of the activities conducted by the institutions for sustainable development of the oil and natural gas sector in Tanzania.

The Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) is the quasi-judicial agency that is responsible for regulating the development of Alberta’s energy resources. Its mandate is to ensure that the discovery, development, and delivery of Alberta’s energy resources takes place in a manner that is safe, fair, responsible, and in the public interest. The ERCB’s responsibilities include the regulation of over 400,000 km of high-pressure oil and gas pipelines, the majority of which is production field pipeline. ERCB regulations require pipeline licensees to report all pipeline failures, regardless of consequence, and thus a comprehensive data set exists pertaining to the failure frequency and failure causes of its regulated pipelines. Analysis has shown that corrosion is consistently the predominant cause of failure in steel production pipeline systems. Corrosion-resistant materials, such as fibre-composite pipe, thermoplastic pipe, and plastic-lined pipe have long been explored as alternatives to steel pipe, and have in fact been used in various forms for many years. The ERCB has encouraged the use of such materials where appropriate and has co-operated with licensees to allow the use of various types of new pipeline systems on an experimental basis, subject to technical assessment, service limitations, and periodic performance evaluations. This paper will review the types of composite pipe materials that have been used in Alberta, and present statistical data on the length of composite pipe in place, growth trends, failure causes and failure frequency. As the purpose of using alternative materials is to improve upon the performance history of steel, a comparison will be done to determine if that goal is being achieved.

 In recent years, there has been a trend around the world towards a constant increase in the consumption of fuel and energy resources, in connection with this there is a significant increase in interest in non-traditional methods of extraction of various energy sources. For many countries, this issue is especially relevant, since the price of natural gas supplied from abroad is growing every year, which negatively affects the economy. Therefore, the need to modernize the structure of the oil and gas complexes and to improve the mechanism for the development of the energy segment, which is possible through the introduction and application of the latest gas hydrate technologies, which will provide an opportunity to obtain additional energy, is obvious.
