Alberta Oil Spills 1975-2013

Source data is from the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB). This file shows all releases reported to the ERCB between January 1, 1975 and February 4, 2013. There are three entries before 1975, but in this database anyway, reporting seems unreliable before then. Note that these numbers do not include any releases from pipelines which cross provincial or national boundaries, as these are not under the ERCB’s jurisdiction. Volumes are given in cubic metres. To convert to barrels, multiply by 6.292. To convert to litres, multiply by 1000. The latitude and longitude coordinates show the centre point of each Alberta Township System Legal Subdivision that was given in the data. Locations are approximate and are accurate to within about 200 metres.
