Plain-language summary · AI-assisted
A section that capped the volume of gas an operator could vent from an offshore installation at 15,000 standard cubic metres per year has been repealed. The repealed section also defined what counted as 'vented' for that limit. Operators of offshore petroleum installations in the Canada–Nova Scotia offshore area are no longer subject to that specific annual venting cap under these regulations. Operators should review whether other regulatory requirements or permit conditions still govern venting volumes, and should consult their compliance programs accordingly.
