CALGARY, AB – The Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) has issued an administrative penalty to Tamarack Valley Energy Ltd. for contravening the Oil and Gas Conservation Rules. A copy of the decision is on the Compliance Dashboard.
Following an investigation by the AER, it was determined that between May 11, 2022, and August 8, 2022, at Tamarack’s facilities near Jarvie, Alta., Tamarack contravened section 12.030(2) of the Oil and Gas Conservation Rules. The company failed to keep original recordings of production measurements, which are essential to verify production data and for accurate volumetric reporting. Consequently, a $25 500 administrative penalty was imposed on Tamarack.
An administrative penalty is one of compliance and enforcement tools the AER can use when companies do not comply with the regulatory requirements.
