Nature of the Application

ConocoPhillips Canada Resources Corp.

The maximum hydrogen sulphide (H₂S) concentration would be approximately 4.4 moles per kilomole (0.44 per cent) and the cumulative drilling H₂S release rate would be 0.0187 cubic metres per second (m³/s). During the completion/servicing of the proposed well, the release rate would be 0.0229 m³/s, and the suspended/producing release rate would be 0.0167 m³/s. The corresponding calculated emergency planning zones (EPZs) would be 0.2 kilometres (km) for the drilling release rate, 0.22 km for the completion/servicing release rate, and 0.19 km for the suspended/producing release rate. The purpose of the well would be to obtain gas production from the Banff formation. The proposed well would be located approximately 15 km northwest of Westerose.
