ALBERTA ENERGY REGULATOR BULLETIN 2019-21: AER Approval Still Required for Disposal Schemes With a Crown Mineral Activity Authorization
On June 24, 2019, Alberta Energy released Mineral Rights Information Bulletin 2019-01 (https://open.alberta.ca/publications/mineral-rights-information-bulletin), which discusses when a disposal operator requires a Crown mineral activity authorization (CMA). We wish to clarify that a CMA holder is still required to obtain approval from the AER for a disposal scheme under section 39 of the Oil and Gas Conservation Act. Issuance of a CMA in no way influences our decisions regarding disposal approvals.
