Injunction Sought Against Alberta Gas Board Over Turner Valley
Spooner Oils Ltd seeks an injunction in the Alberta Supreme Court to block the Alberta Gas Conservation Board from enforcing Turner Valley gas flow limits of 200 million cubic feet daily based on naphtha output. Spooner argues the Turner Valley Gas Conservation Act is ultra vires and would force a drop in naphtha yield from 23 to about 4.4 barrels daily, risking operation. Richfield Oils Ltd. plans a parallel injunction this week against the Board with similar complaints.
