US EditionAlberta oil company fined $15K for not reporting release of toxic sour gas
- A Calgary energy company, McLand Resources Ltd., was fined $15,000 for failing to report a hydrogen sulphide leak near Tees, which lasted for three hours and had a concentration of 108,500 ppm, posing a risk to human health.
- McLand Resources did not activate its emergency response plan, leaving residents unaware of the potential dangers when the hydrogen sulphide leak occurred.
- Although there were no reported injuries or environmental damage, multiple complaints were received from area residents before the leak was contained.
- Tyler Callicott, the director of enforcement and orphaning at the Alberta Energy Regulator, indicated that the incident was a 'wake-up call' for McLand, and the company has since developed a new emergency response plan.
