(Alberta) AER Directive 033: Well Servicing and Completions Operations – Interim Requirement Regarding the Potential for Explosive Mixtures and Ignition in Wells

Licensees must have documented practices available at the well site for the safe management of the potential for explosive mixtures and ignition in wells and associated surface equipment, and ensure that all well site staff responsible for well control and blowout prevention, understand these practices and know how to apply them. This interim requirement expands upon existing EUB requirements for well control, blowout prevention, and crew training procedures to include an additional new requirement for addressing the potential for explosive mixtures and ignition in wells.
