In the following discussion the authors summarize recent developments in statutes, regulations and regulatory decisions which may be of particular interest to oil and gas lawyers in Canada. The scope of the summary is limited to federal law and the laws of Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan. Notwithstanding this limitation, the developments in this area of law are numerous and this paper seeks only to draw attention to them without attempting to provide detailed descriptions or analysis.

This article canvasses significant regulatory and legislative development in oil and gas law during the period April 2004 to March 2005. Selected contributions of courts (the Federal Court of Appeal, Alberta Court of Appeal, and Alberta Court of Queen's Bench), regulatory bodies (the National Energy Board, the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board, and the Alberta Environmental Appeals Board), and legislators (at the federal and provincial levels) are summarized and analyzed, followed by a discussion of policy initiatives. The article deals with a variety of developments, highlighting themes of considerable importance to oil and gas Iaw.  These include: the continuing effects of GB 2003-028 on gas/bitumen conservation policy, the consequences of the recent regulatory decisions of the National Energy Board on TransCanada Pipelines Limited tolls on upstream and midstream companies and, more generally, changes to energy legislation in Alberta and British Columbia.

This article examines legislative and regulatory developments that have occurred from May 1998 through April 1999 that are relevant to oil and gas lawyers. The emphasis is on federal and Alberta legislative amendments. Regulatory decisions of federal, Alberta, British Columbia, and Nova Scotia boards are reviewed and their application to oil and gas matters are discussed.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss recent developments in the law which are of interest to lawyers whose practice relates to the oil and gas industry. It deals with both regulatory decisions and statutory developments. In order to place some limit on the scope of the paper, only federal and Alberta legislative developments are reported. The regulatory decisions dealt with emanate from a variety of national and provincial boards.

The predominant area of application of the developed methodology is the construction of the distribution of the geodynamic state of the developed hydrocarbon fields in oil and gas basin, and the identification of the corresponding distribution law. A number of the hydrocarbon deposits in terms of geological conditions of occurrence, structure and other parameters are geodynamically hazardous during their development. The Federal Law «On Subsurface Resources» (Article 24) requires conducting a complex of geological, surveying, and other observations sufficient for ensuring a normal technological cycle of work, and the prediction of hazardous situations. The developed methodology based on the construction of aggregated additive models for each reservoir and field is presented. It includes four sequential stages (24 operations): first — prepare geodynamic data; second — determine the geodynamic state of productive strata; third — find the geodynamic state of the developed deposits subsoil; fourth — build the distribution of the bowels geodynamic state of these fields for the entire oil and gas basin and identify the relevant distribution law. Oil and gas basin in the west of the Orenburg Region (Volga — Ural and Caspian oil and gas provinces) is considered as an example of implementation. Unique data of twenty geodynamic parameters of 320 productive strata (56 fields) were used. It is revealed that in accordance with the Pearson criterion, the theoretical data with a high confidence probability (95 %) correspond to the law of normal distribution. Developed methodology has significant technical and economic advantages, since it allows to identify the geodynamic state of productive strata and subsoil of the fields being developed, to identify hazardous geodynamic processes and to choose rational modes for the development of hydrocarbon deposits.

The Northeast British Columbia (NEBC) oil patch is undergoing a boom in land tenure sales, exploration, and production. This comes at a time of increasing public concern over the use of hydraulic fracturing (or “fracking”), an unconventional technology that ushered in a new era of production in NEBC, along with several new contentious issues. Recently, four significant regulatory changes have been enacted or planned for the immediate future. The first, likely in response to public concern over fracking, occurred in October 2010 with an overhaul of the decades-old Petroleum and Natural Gas Act and the coming into force of the bulk of the provisions in the Oil and Gas Activities Act. The changes primarily affect production and environmental management, and several new provisions have a direct impact on fracking. The second change under development is the creation of a long-awaited groundwater licencing regime, marking a stronger environmental presence in the NEBC, and possibly abrogating pre-existing extraction rights. The third change arises from the expiry of Crown-First Nation Consultation Process Agreements (CPAs). Recent jurisprudence continues to point to the need for improved consultation and accommodation, but current negotiations may or may not succeed in arriving at a more comprehensive successor to the expired CPAs. Finally, under British Columbia’s contaminated sites regime, new measures expand the liability exposure of oil patch operators for contaminated sites in both civil actions and government enforcement proceedings.
