AER Strategic Plan Highlights Pipeline Safety

Originally posted April 25, 2017

The Alberta Energy Regulator released its 2017-20 strategic plan, which includes their strategic priorities, outcomes, performance measures, and targets. They are adapting their regulatory approach and coordinating their work with other ministries and agencies to manage risk and make sure the environment and public safety are protected.

They have specifically set a target of a 2% reduction in high-consequence pipeline incidents from the previous two-year average. View the report here.  

In the oil and gas business, you’re only as good as the information you have on-hand.

It’s a tough business with ups and downs, risks and reward, and constant challenges. Every day, oil and gas professionals have to make quick decisions in an industry that changes overnight. Regulators are increasingly holding the energy industry more accountable to ensure environmental, employee and public safety.  Plus, the economy is putting pressure on those companies to streamline operational efficiencies.

That’s why more and more companies are relying on pipeline integrity management software to give them the information they need at a glance so they can quickly make the best decisions while saving time and money in the process.

Does your company have a plan to help meet the AER’s strategic directives?
