Description of the Applications

Application No. 1598361
Standard Energy Inc. has applied, pursuant to section 2.020 of the Oil and Gas Conservation Regulations (OGCR), for licences to drill two horizontal wells from a surface location in Legal Subdivision (LSD) 15, Section 30, Township 71, Range 4, West of the 6th Meridian to bottomhole locations at LSD 1-30-71-4W6M and LSD 2-30-71-4W6M. The maximum hydrogen sulphide (H2S) concentration would be about 23.4 moles per kilomole (mol/kmol) (2.34 per cent) and the cumulative drilling H2S release rate would be 0.0259 cubic metres per second (m3/s) with an emergency planning zone of 0.46 kilometres (km). The purpose of the wells would be to obtain gas from the Montney Formation. The proposed wells would be located about 10.5 km east of Grande Prairie.

Applications No. 1598688 and 1599690
Standard Energy Inc. has submitted two applications, pursuant to Part 4 of the Pipeline Act, for approval to construct and operate two pipelines. One pipeline would be to transport natural gas from LSD 15-30-71-4W6M to a tie-in point at LSD 14-30-71-4W6M. This proposed pipeline would be about 0.63 km in length, would have a maximum outside diameter of 114.3 millimetres (mm) and would transport natural gas with a maximum H2S concentration of 15 mol/kmole (1.5 per cent). The second pipeline would be to transport fuel gas with no hydrogen sulfide from LSD 14-30-71-4W6M to the proposed wellsite at LSD 15-30-71-4W6M. The second proposed pipeline would be about 0.63 km in length and have a maximum outside diameter of 60.3 mm. The proposed pipelines would be located about 10.5 km east of Grande Prairie.
