Alberta Oil & Gas Exceeds Cleanup Goals: Read the Latest Industry Insights

EnergyNow published a great article today highlighting the fantastic progress the oil & gas industry is making in proactively decommissioning and reclaiming the inactive inventory in Western Canada. For the 2nd year in a row, oil & gas operators have spent more than required on closure activities, based on their mandatory spends. In 2023, $923 million was spent on closure activities (surpassing the mandatory spend by 22%), and 2024 is on track to exceed the industry mandatory spend of $700 million. In 2025, the industry-wide mandatory spend will increase to $750 million.

360’s CEO, Ryan Smith, explains in the article how a predictable regulatory framework helps both our clients and our business effectively support environmental stewardship while planning for the future.
