This Regulation establishes the conditions of exercise of the petroleum exploration, production and storage activities, while ensuring the safety of persons and property, environmental protection, and optimal recovery of the resource. It applies to activities carried out on land. A licence holder must ensure that the equipment and components on the activity site are (1) in good condition and used for the purposes specified, in accordance with the requirements of the manufacturer; (2) free from any alteration that may endanger the safety of persons and property, and environmental protection; and (3) entered in a list that is updated and kept on the activity site. A licence holder must ensure that the activities are carried out to eliminate or reduce to a minimum the volume of gas released into the atmosphere.
