15 Julio 2024 - 11:29AM
The Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) has fined Canadian Natural
Resources Limited (CNRL) for contravening section 155 of the
Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act (EPEA). The AER has
ordered CNRL to pay $278 000.Following an investigation, the AER
has determined that between May 21, 2022, and August 4, 2022, CNRL
contravened section 155 of EPEA by failing to prevent a hazardous
substance that contained bitumen from coming into contact with
birds and other wildlife, resulting in bird fatalities.A fine (or
an administrative penalty) is one of many compliance and
enforcement tools the AER can use when companies do not comply
with the rules. A copy of the enforcement decision is on
the AER’s Compliance Dashboard. For more information on the AER’s
investigation enforcement processes, please see
