Nature of Proceeding No. 1488165
On 25 May, 2006, the Board approved Application No 1458636 and issued Pipeline Licence No. 46669 to Compton Petroleum Corporation (Compton) in accordance with Part 4 of the Pipeline Act. Pipeline Licence No. 46669 is for the construction and operation of a pipeline for the purpose of transporting natural gas from a well at Legal Subdivision (LSD) 7, Section 12, Township 15, Range 25, West of the 4th Meridian to a pipeline tie in point at LSD 10, Section 14, Township 15, Range 25, West of the 4th Meridian. The pipeline would be approximately 2.96 kilometres (km) in length with a maximum outside diameter of 168.3-millimetre (mm) and would transport natural gas with 0 mol/kmol of H2S. The pipeline would be located approximately 11 km west of Champion.
On June 27, 2006, the EUB received a letter from an area landowner expressing concern that the subject pipeline had been approved without consideration of a letter of objection which was submitted to the Board on May 11, 2006. The Board considered the letters to be a request for the Board to conduct a review hearing related to Pipeline Licence No. 46669, pursuant to Section 40 of the Energy Resources Conservation Act. On October 30, 2006, the Board granted the request for a review hearing and registered the hearing as Proceeding No. 1488165. The purpose of the hearing is to determine whether the Board should confirm, vary or rescind its decision to grant Pipeline Licence No. 46669.
