Mandatory Electronic Application Submission (EAS): Resources Applications
Since 2004, the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) has provided industry with the opportunity to submit applications electronically through the Digital Data Submission (DDS) system. In 2009, industry submitted about 90 per cent of its eligible applications in this manner.
To further enhance the quality of incoming applications and reduce costs for both industry and the ERCB, mandatory electronic application submission for resources applications will be implemented effective April 1, 2010.
The following applications related to Directive 065: Resources Applications for Conventional Oil and Gas Reservoirs must be submitted electronically through the DDS system on the ERCB Web site www.ercb.ca starting April 1, 2010, and will not be accepted on paper after that date:
• Acid Gas Disposal (Amend/New)
• Approval Transfer
• Block
• Class I Disposal
• Coalbed Methane Control Well
• Commingling (Gas, Oil, and Oil & Gas)
• Common Carrier/Processor/Purchaser
• Compulsory Pooling
• Concurrent Production (CCP)
• Deviation Survey
• Disposal Schemes
• Enhanced Oil Recovery
• Gas Allowable
• Gas Removal
• Gas Storage
• Good Production Practice (GPP)
• GOR Penalty Relief
• Injectivity Test
• Off-Target
• Oil Allowable
• Pool Delineation
• Production Test
• Rateable Take
• Reserves (Gas &Oil)
• Shale Gas Control Well
• Spacing (Gas &Oil)
• Special MRL
Directive 065 will be updated to reflect these changes shortly.
