I need help creating a thesis and an outline on Government Regulations on Oil and Gas Exploration: Stakeholders Positions. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. The Alberta government should put a hold on approving new underground tar sands operations until the current situation is handled and the source of the leaks established. This will stop similar problems occurring in the future. With four leakage sites already established, it is wise to handle more risks rather than allowing the injection of pressure steam into the wells.
The Alberta government has handled the situation well and with it stopping further operation at the site of the leakage, it will give enough time for the facts to be established and the exact extent of the leakage will be established. After that is done the government can weigh the options whether CNRL will be allowed to continue with its operation at the oil sands.
My opinion on the government’s position: I totally agree with the steps though they would have come earlier. With the reported deaths of the birds and some amphibians due to the leakage in the lake, the extent of the spillage should be assessed and if the oil has reached the aquifer then it should be confined to prevent contamination of groundwater.
The community has played a big role in shaping the current situation at Cold Lake. Two years ago, before the leakages were identified. Osum Oil Sands was given a cold welcome when it tried to start their project. Their venture was aimed at Marie Lake in the Cold Lake region of Alberta. When the leakages were first identified, Greenpeace got on the calling urging oil companies and the Canadian government to stop the tar sands and also end up the industrialization of a vast area of Indigenous territories, forests and also the wetlands found in .Northern Alberta. This being the general opinion of the majority of the community it shows their satisfaction with the closing up of the operations in the leaking wells, Hudema, 2014.
Albertans are also helping in shaping responsible growth for the oil sands region.
