Can an operator apply for GEP?
The equivalent to a Good Production Practice, as issued in Alberta, is the GEP, Good Engineering Practice, in BC. The requirements for application are detailed in the British Columbia Oil and Gas Handbook, under Reservoir Projects, as well as on this website under Checklist for Application for Approval of a Good Engineering Practice Area. Within a GEP area, well spacing and target restrictions may be waived and, if a production allowable is applicable, production may be taken from any one or combination of wells.
