Medicine Hat faces methane leaks from abandoned wells
Four long abandoned gas wells in central Medicine Hat leak methane at concerning rates, per a draft Alberta Energy Regulator report reviewed by News. City officials say readings exceed acute thresholds at several wells dating to the early 20th century, with five worst sites including two downtown. The city monitors air quality and plans to permanently close or capture and remove gas as it migrates, ensuring the area remains safe.
