“Canadians demand that our industry returns developed areas back to a sustainable landscape. From drilling one well to mining for oil sands, oil and gas activity changes the land we work on.”
“We now face a complex challenge. Protecting the environment is not enough. We need to encourage public and private decision-makers to incorporate environmental and social concerns into economic planning and growth strategies.”

• Economic losses, caused by expensive drilling fluids, environmental

Problem:Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 made the largest volume of waste in the oilfield (produced water & drilling fluid) fully exempt from hazardous waste control.
In Alberta in 1993 Government regulation changed drilling fluid waste In Alberta in 1993 Government regulation changed drilling fluid waste from hazardous to dangerous.
Focus thus went to treating the waste after it had been created as opposed to reducing or eliminating waste.

reclaimed exceeds 100,000. Of these wells, over 20,000 have been inactive for more than ten consecutive years.

Abandoned Well HistoryAbandoned Well HistoryAbandoned Well HistoryAbandoned Well History
• Alberta Environment & Water in the 2011 R & R report stated:
• “The indicator shows that oil and gas well reclamat ion is progressing at a much slower rate than abandonment. This is re sulting in a build at a much slower rate than abandonment. This is re sulting in a build up of uncertified wells. Over the last 10 years, t he certification has been approx. 44.6% of the abandonment rate.”
