Regulatory Process

WCOL Regulatory Process

Our Project  consists of two separate plants; the NGL Separation Plant, and the Ethylene Plant. These two plants will undergo two separate environmental processes.

NGL Extraction Plant

The West Coast Olefins NGL Recovery Project is entering the BC Oil and Gas Commission (BCOGC) Facility Application process, as required by the Oil and Gas Activity Act. WCOL will continue to work closely with the BCOGC and appropriate regulatory bodies to ensure the Project meets all environmental requirements.
