As of April 21, 2021, AER’s Directive 60 has created environmentally friendly requirements on the petroleum industry for flaring, incinerating, and venting in Alberta wells and facilities.
These requirements have high consideration for public safety and environmental impacts, ensuring industry-leading companies meet future-forward standards and can be held accountable.
Read MoreHydrogen is the simplest, most abundant, and most common element. Almost three-quarters of all matter is made of this handy resource. Hydrogen easily attaches itself to other elements as building blocks to make atomic compounds. It consists of only one proton and one electron and is an odorless, colorless gas in its most stable state.
Hydrogen is a source, pathway, and carrier of useable energy. It stores and delivers highly efficient, clean, and powerful energy with zero emissions. Hydrogen's tendency towards combustion makes it a dangerous chemical element and a potent energy source.
Read MoreWith uses in advanced healthcare and science, helium is an increasingly valuable commodity. Recent helium supply shortages have led to a renewed interest in exploration and drilling for the rare inert gas.
Helium in economically-viable concentrations has been found in Cambrian- to Devonian-age formations that are common in Western Canada, resulting from predictable processes of generation and migration.
