AMENDED NOTICE OF HEARING
PROCEEDING NO. 1607608
DALHOUSIE OIL COMPANY LIMITED
ABANDONMENT COST ORDER ACO 2008-1
UNIQUE WELL IDENTIFIER 02/04-18-020-02 W5/0

The Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB/Board) had originally scheduled an oral public hearing of Proceeding No. 1607608 (Proceeding) at the ERCB Head Office, 640 – 5 Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta, commencing on February 2, 2010, at 9:00 a.m. The purpose of this amendment is to notify all interested persons that, following a request from the parties, the Board has agreed to continue the Proceeding in a written format.

After reviewing the submission from Dalhousie Oil Company Limited (Dalhousie), the ERCB determined that Signalta Resources Limited (Signalta) and Talisman Energy Inc. (Talisman) should be given an opportunity to respond to Dalhousie's allegation that Signalta and Talisman are responsible for the abandonment costs at issue in this Proceeding. Signalta and Talisman were added as parties to the hearing and submission deadlines were provided to allow them the opportunity to respond to Dalhousie's allegations. The ERCB was subsequently advised that effective November 27, 2009, CanEra Resources Inc. (CanEra) replaced Talisman as the operator of Turner Valley Unit No. 7 and would therefore replace Talisman as a party to the hearing.

If Dalhousie's allegations that Signalta and CanEra are liable for these abandonment costs are found to be unsubstantiated, Dalhousie may be ordered to pay their hearing costs.

Nature of the Proceeding
Proceeding No. 1607608 arises out of the Board's issuance of Abandonment Cost Order (ACO) 2008-1 on April 18, 2008, to Dalhousie. The order requires the payment of abandonment costs plus a 25 per cent penalty for a well licensed to Dalhousie, located at Legal Subdivision 4, Section 18, Township 20, Range 2, West of the 5 th Meridian. Dalhousie has asked that the Board conduct a review hearing related to ACO 2008-1, pursuant to Section 40 of the Energy Resources Conservation Act, and the Board has granted the request.

The purpose of the review hearing is to determine whether the Board should confirm, vary, or rescind its decision to issue ACO 2008-1.

Dalhousie, Signalta, CanEra, and the ERCB Corporate Compliance Group (CCG) are parties to this Proceeding.
