Alberta site rehabilitation program
On April 17th, 2020, the Prime Minister announced over 1.7 Billion dollars in available funding to support inactive and orphan site closure within the oil and gas industry, as part of the COVID-19 Economic Response Plan. On April 24, 2020, Alberta’s provincial government announced the implementation of the Site Rehabilitation Program.
Alberta’s Site Rehabilitation Program goals are to:
Immediately get Alberta’s specialized oil and gas labor force back to work;
Accelerate site abandonment and reclamation efforts; and
Quickly complete a high volume of environmentally-significant work.
