Board Issues Encana Corporation Operations Authorization (Production) for Deep Panuke Offshore Gas Development Project
(Halifax, NS) The Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board (the Board) has issued an Operations Authorization (Production) to Encana Corporation. The authorization allows the company to commence the flow of natural gas from the Deep Panuke reservoir to its Production Field Centre installed offshore, and to ultimately commence the transportation of sales gas to market.
This authorization was issued by the Board after completion of an extensive readiness for operations review, and upon receipt of Encana’s Declaration of Operator confirming that the production facilities are fit for purpose and that personnel are properly trained. The certifying authority, Lloyd’s Register, has also issued a Certificate of Fitness certifying that the facilities are fit for purpose, can be operated safely without polluting the environment, and are in compliance with the regulations.
Stuart Pinks, Chief Executive Officer of the Board says that “Encana has satisfied the conditions set out in the Board’s September 2007 Decision Report, and has filed all required documentation including a Safety Plan, Environmental Protection Plan, Reservoir Management Plan, and a Benefits Plan. The Board will now implement an ongoing regulatory compliance monitoring program for the production phase of this project.
