No Relief From AER Directive 067 Reporting Requirements Amid COVID-19 Pandemic

Amidst a global collapse in oil prices, sectors of Alberta's industry have been hit hard during the COVID-19 pandemic. Companies in the natural resource and energy industries are facing unique challenges associated with complying with regulatory requirements during COVID-19. Various levels of government have responded to this situation by offering environmental/regulatory reporting relief, including relief from certain requirements under the Coal Conservation Act, the Oil and Gas Conservation Act, and the Oil Sands Conservation Act. However, it is important to note that other requirements have not been relaxed or suspended—notably, those outlined in the Alberta Energy Regulator's (AER) Directive 067.
