Regulations Respecting Reduction in the Release of Methane and Certain Volatile Organic Compounds (Upstream Oil and Gas Sector) — 19
Records — compressors and vents 19 (1) A record must be made that indicates for each compressor referred to in section 14 (a) its serial number; (b) its make and model; (c) its rated brake power; (d) the date on which it was installed at the facility, if it was installed on or after January 1, 2020, or a demonstration, with supporting documents, that it was installed at the facility before January 1, 2020; (e) if applicable, the type of hydrocarbon gas conservation equipment or hydrocarbon gas destruction equipment to which the emissions of hydrocarbon gas from the its seals or rod packing and distance pieces, as the case may be, are captured and routed, namely (i) a vapour recovery unit, (ii) a vent gas capture system, (iii) a flare, (iv) an enclosed combustor, or (v) another type, and if so, a description of the type; (f) for each centrifugal compressor for which emissions from its seals are routed to vents that release those emissions to the atmosphere, whether the seals are dry or wet; (g) for each reciprocating compressor from which emissions from its rod packings and distance pieces are routed to vents that release those emissions to the atmosphere, the number of those rod packings; and (h) for each compressor for which the period within which a measurement by a flow meter must be made has been extended under subsection 16 (6), the number of hours during which it was pressurized during the three calendar years referred to in that subsection. Records — flow meters (2) A record must be made that indicates, for each measurement, including a remeasurement, the flow rate of emissions from a vent referred to in paragraph 14 (b) made by means of a flow meter referred to in paragraph 15 (a), (a) the make and model of the flow meter; (b) the maximum flow rate referred to in paragraph 16 (4)(a) or the average flow rate referred to in paragraph 16 (4)(b), as the case may be; (c) the date on which the measurement was taken; (d) the recommendations of the manufacturer for the calibration of the flow meter referred to in subsection 16 (1), along with a demonstration, with supporting documents, that the measurements taken with that calibration have a maximum margin of error of ±10%; (e) any recommendation for the taking of the measurement, along with supporting documents; (f) the duration of the continuous period referred to in paragraph 16 (4)(a) or (b), as the case may be; and (g) the name of the person who took the measurement and, if that person is a corporation, the name of the individual who took it. Records — continuous monitoring devices (3) A record must be made that indicates, for each measurement, including a remeasurement, of the flow rate of emissions from a vent referred to in paragraph 14 (b) made by means of a continuous monitoring device referred to in paragraph 15 (b), (a) a description of the device; (b) if applicable, its serial number, make and model; and (c) the recommendations of the manufacturer for the calibration of the continuous monitoring device referred to in paragraph 17 (a) along with a demonstration, with supporting documents, that the measurements taken with that calibration have a maximum margin of error of ±10%. Records — corrective actions taken (4) A record must be made that indicates, for each corrective action taken, (a) a description of the corrective action, including a description of each step of the corrective action; (b) the dates on which that corrective action was taken, along with the dates on which each of its steps was taken; (c) for each remeasurement taken under paragraph 18 (4)(b), the volume and estimated volume, determined for the purpose of that paragraph, along with supporting calculations; and (d) if the corrective action was taken as a result of a measurement by means of a continuous monitoring device, the date on which the alarm was triggered.
