When asked why the orphan fund levy only increased from 2024 by 7% in 2025 when the number of wells increased by 125%, the AER provided a link to a web page with no numbers beyond 2023. And then stopped responding to my emails.

The AER has the authority by legislation to decide the levy, but the AER confirmed that the final decision was made by the Alberta government.

The Energy Mix · Alberta’s Orphan Well Levy Is Unlawful, Insufficient, Coalition ContendsBy Jody MacPherson
Continued thread

It's incredible that the Alberta Premier continues to claim a pipeline to the Northwest (Prince Rupert) is possible. Premier Eby was not there because he was in the middle of a pre-planned trip to Asia (Japan, South Korea, Malaysia). And he said today there won't be any reconsideration of another oil pipeline, "decarbonzed" or not. And Japan has no interest in heavy oil anyway.

"But Eby continued to pour cold water on other premiers' talk of building another oil pipeline across B.C. to the coast, saying there is already the taxpayer-owned Trans Mountain Pipeline, which is not being used to full capacity.

He added that the Japanese don't want heavy oil and thermal coal. And he has not altered his stance against lifting the heavy oil tanker ban on B.C.'s North Coast.”
