Is it safe to use existing pipelines for CBM development? How do you determne if there is a leak and who would deal with it?
• Yes. It is safe to use existing pipelines. All pipelines in Alberta are subject to ERCB regulations, which include technical design, material control, monitoring operations and programs for corrosion prevention to prevent leakage. If appropriate, co-use or re-use of an existing pipeline can provide an important land use management benefit.
