Using LLR to bully the regulator?

medusaApplications to the regulator can be used to bully others. But can they be used to bully the regulator?

Without AppIntel, how can your learn about how other operators are using LLR? Inside AppIntel you can search in the KiP box for the words liability rating or LLR . You will find all the applications where it is mentioned.

One operator is using Licensee Liability Rating (LLR) as an argument for requesting a regulatory hearing into the transfer of property to a competitor. If approved, the precedent will make future transfers more difficult in Alberta.

You can see all the rest of their arguments by following the link above.

Bully applications

Many operators use applications to bully others. When they get what they want they drop the application.

For example, everyone knows how to get what you want with a compensatory pooling application.

But I have seen bullies use water flood applications, pool delineation applications, and even spacing applications.

You too can learn how to use applications to get what you want from anyone.

AER moving away from LLR

Although the regulator says they are moving away from LLR, it is still an important consideration in licence transfer approvals.

Simply stated, a company's Alberta LLR is the ratio of its producing assets to its well reclamation liabilities.

An operator's Liability Management Ratio (LMR) includes LLR plus liabilities from large processing facilities and oilfield waste facilities.
