In a rare move, the province’s energy regulator has rejected Shell Canada’s application for two new pipelines at the company’s Waterton field site in southwestern Alberta.
But the Energy Resources Conservation Board ruled late Wednesday that Shell Canada will be allowed to drill a new sour gas well in the area and add a fuel-gas compressor.
The board added that given the way that the company has operated its existing infrastructure in the area 20 kilometres west of Pincher Creek, it has not demonstrated that it has followed its own procedures.
