The BC Energy Regulator’s (BCER) Submissions Due Report, released in June 2023, has added submission types, including:

  • Hydraulic fracture data reports
  • Annual surface casing vent flow (SCVF) test reports for disposal wells

Completion and workover reports have also been updated to indicate more specifically which type of report is due (Completion Report, Initial Completion Report, or Workover Report). Companies can use this information to help manage timing for submitting reports and maintain compliance with legislated requirements.
