As provincial authorities continue to investigate the blowout of an oil well in central Alberta that's been linked to a nearby hydraulic fracturing operation, the incident appears to have been another case of bad communication.
These days "communication" is a buzzword in both the scientific examination of fracturing and the contentious public debate over the practice.
The word appears prominently in a bulletin issued by the Energy Resources Conservation Board this week. The one-page document doesn't mention the Jan. 13 blowout near Innis-fail, but it does offer a few "reminders" for companies conducting fracking in Alberta.
The ERCB said the timing of the bulletin and the blowout are a coincidence. Regardless, both are telling communication.
