Common Question
What makes a new oilfield waste management application complete?
Archive Findings
The 2015 checklist required more than a short project description. It asked for the activity type, site-specific information, plot plan, process flow diagram, waste streams, storage equipment, spacing/storage compliance, H2S handling, public consultation, financial security, and runoff controls.
The checklist also warned that AER may ask for additional information during review.

Build the filing like a facility package. Make the process, equipment, waste streams, containment, and operating controls clear enough that AER does not have to infer how the waste will move through the site.
Current Guidance
Use Directive 058, Manual 034, and current AER application schedules for D058 facility or component submissions. Check Directive 047 if reporting applies.
