: CALGARY ? The Canadian Press - Friday, Nov. 07 2014
: Chinese-owned company Sinopec fined $150K over Alberta pipeline spill
: A Chinese-owned company has been fined after a contractor?s mistake led to a
: pipeline spill that contaminated a creek flowing into the Athabasca River in
: northern Alberta.
: Sinopec Daylight Energy is to pay $150,000 for a spill near Fox Creek in
: northwestern Alberta between Feb. 2 and Feb. 4, 2012.
: According to an agreed statement of facts, the spill happened as a result of
a
: contractor?s attempts to restart compressors at two wells, which produced a
mix
: of natural gas, hydrocarbon liquids and salty, contaminated water.
: In order to restart compressors at the second well, the contractor had to
: temporarily bypass emergency shutdown devices, which stop production if
: internal pressure exceeds the pipeline?s capacity to safely handle it.
: The contractor then forgot to reset the device, leaving it in a bypass state,
: the statement says.
: Two days later, the contractor realized that no water was flowing into a
: disposal well, despite the fact the well was producing.
: ?(He) then realized the pipeline must be leaking,? the statement says. ?He
: immediately shut the pipeline down and notified his foreman.?
: The spill sent 391,000 litres of contaminated, salty water into Marsh Head
: Creek, a tributary of the Athabasca River.
: That was enough to exceed allowable levels of those contaminants 7.4
kilometres
: downstream of the spill.
: ?No dead fish were actually observed because Marsh Head Creek was covered
with
: snow and ice at the time of the release,? says the statement.
: The Alberta Energy Regulator said the cleanup took until March. Final
: remediation wasn?t complete until June 2013.
: The cleanup cost nearly $10 million, the regulator said.

amounts?
What a joke of a fine.
