Release of Quebec’s draft hydrocarbons regulations
TORONTO, ONTARIO (September •, 2017) – Petrolympic Ltd. ("Petrolympic" or the "Company") (TSX.V: PCQ, OTCQB: PCQRF) acknowledges that an important mile step has been accomplished by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources of Quebec who published, on Sept. 20, 2017, the draft regulations to govern oil and natural gas activities.
Petrolympic considers that the Quebec government is sending a strong message in releasing these regulations, confirming its will to strengthen the economic dynamism of the province in the absolute respect of the environment and of the local stakeholders. These regulations will govern and clarify the exploration, production and storage licencing processes, the field activities on land and water environments (to the exclusion of the offshore marine environment), as well as pipeline constructions. In particular, they are intended to improve the synchronicity between the different ministries so as to homogenize the regulatory framework, to facilitate the coordination with the municipalities so as to account for the different uses of the land, and to improve the collaboration and the cooperation with the local stakeholders so as to achieve social acceptability faster.
The preparation of these regulations capitalizes on a series of in-depth reviews undertaken by the government of Quebec over the past few years and it reflects a very modern view of the industry best practices. The regulations aim at facilitating and accelerating the exploration and production of hydrocarbons in Quebec while enforcing very high industrial and professional standards for the safety of environment, persons and properties.
A period of forty-five days is allowed for comments and recommendations from the civil society, during which Petrolympic will carefully review the draft regulations and provide feed-backs to the government if appropriate. The government will then be able to implement the regulations, thus triggering the enactment of the Hydrocarbons Law. In parallel, the Ministry of Environment of Quebec is pursuing the review and update of its current regulation on water protection, a section of which providing complementary regulation to oil and natural gas industrial activities.
Petrolympic CEO Mendel Ekstein commented: “As Petrolympic is moving forward to develop its diversified assets in Quebec, it is reassuring to see that we can grow and evolve in an environment defined by a set of modern and sensible laws and regulations. We are looking forward to collaborate with the government to put these regulations in practice in a very near future.”
Management is confident that developing local hydrocarbon resources is a positive step for the Province, as it will balance Quebec’s energy portfolio and strengthen its economy, while reducing the energy import deficit. Petrolympic is fully committed to securing and maintaining the social license and local support for its operations. Petrolympic seeks the orderly and responsible commercial development of its Quebec oil and gas exploration licenses, within the framework of the new Act and the new regulations.
