US EditionAlberta Energy Regulator Fines Company $456K for Providing Misleading, False Information
- The Alberta Energy Regulator fined CEPro Energy and Environmental Services $456,000 on May 23, 2025, for submitting false and misleading information in reclamation approval applications in Alberta.
- The fine results from CEPro submitting five incomplete reclamation certificate applications in 2023, including two with false information, and previous failures in 2020; the decision does not specify what was falsified.
- The regulator, responsible for certifying land restoration after reclamation work, has been unable to reach CEPro representatives for almost two years, impeding the confirmation that sites have been properly restored.
- The decision highlights that these behaviors hinder the regulator’s ability to oversee properly and safeguard the environment by blocking verification processes. This failure raises the chance that contaminated soil or pollutants might go unnoticed, potentially causing long-term damage, although the specific negative impacts in this instance remain unclear.
- CEPro submitted the applications on behalf of Calgary-based Everest Canadian Resources Corp., which halted operations one month after the 2023 applications, and the fine signals enforcement of environmental compliance standards in Alberta’s oil and gas sector.
