Resident raises concerns with Cenovus well leak in Saskatchewan

Cenovus Energy is addressing concerns about a leak at a steam facility in western Saskatchewan that has been emitting a foul-smelling vapor since the beginning of May.
The leak likely results from a well casing issue, but Cenovus does not know the exact cause and seeks to resolve it while residents report health effects.
Saskatchewan's energy ministry reports the fluid released contains muddy water, steam, and hydrogen sulfide gas while berms contain fluids and water bodies are monitored.
The ministry reported that although the gas emitted from the location is creating noticeable odors, air quality assessments have found no urgent health threats to the public.
The ministry plans a review and remediation once resolved, but residents, including Mylan Tootoosis, demand transparency and a third-party investigation into delays.
