Abandonment and Reclamation - Sulphur Base Pad Area Remediation

The Balzac Abandonment and Reclamation project continues with the remediation and reclamation of the former gas plant site in addition to field well and junctions.  CNOOC International continues to work with the Alberta Energy Regulator to ensure that all regulatory expectations are met.

Operations are planned for up to seven days a week at times. We have implemented operating procedures to minimize dust and odours, with on-site activities continuing to be monitored.
