It does not include an oil sands facility, petroleum refinery, chemicals facility, nitrogen-based fertilizer facility or facility — other than an underground storage facility for gaseous fuel — that is primarily engaged in the local distribution of natural gas. (installation d’exploitation pétrolière et gazière)

oil sands facility

oil sands facility  means a facility — other than a chemicals facility, nitrogen-based fertilizer facility or asphalt refinery — that is used or designed to engage in at least one of the following activities:

• (a) the surface mining of crude oil- or bitumen-containing sand from geological deposits;

• (b) the processing of that sand to separate crude oil or bitumen from that sand;

• (c) the extraction of crude oil or bitumen from underground deposits or reservoirs by means of thermal methods; and

• (d) the upgrading by means of the processing, using distillation, of crude oil or bitumen, or of blends of crude oil, or bitumen, with other hydrocarbon compounds, to produce a combined annual volume of gasoline, diesel fuel and lubricant basestock that is at most 40% of the facility’s annual volume of liquid petroleum products produced. (installation d’exploitation de sables bitumineux)

petroleum refinery

petroleum refinery  means a facility at which the combined annual volume of gasoline, diesel fuel and lubricant basestock produced is greater than 40% of the annual volume of liquid petroleum products produced and that is used or designed to process, using distillation,

• (a) crude oil or bitumen;

• (b) blends of crude oil, or bitumen, with other hydrocarbon compounds; or

• (c) partially refined feedstock derived from crude oil or bitumen. (raffinerie de pétrole)

thermal method

thermal method  means a method of crude oil or bitumen extraction that involves the introduction of thermal energy into a geological formation in order to enhance the fluidity of crude oil or bitumen and to facilitate its extraction. It includes steam-assisted gravity drainage, cyclic steam stimulation, Toe-to-Heel Air Injection (THAI^®), in situ combustion, flooding with heated water, solvent-assisted thermal methods and electro-thermal methods. (méthode thermique)

underground storage facility for gaseous fuel

underground storage facility for gaseous fuel  means a facility — other than an oil sands facility, petrol refinery or asphalt facility — that is used or designed to store gaseous fuel underground. (installation de stockage souterrain de combustibles gazeux)
