Journey Energy Inc. has been ordered to pay a fine for a 2017 pipeline spill

Alberta - March 15, 2020

An Alberta court ruled on March 11 that Journey Energy Inc. is to pay $125,000 for a pipeline spill in 2017.

Just before the Canada Day long weekend in 2017, two breakpoints on the Journey pipeline near Winfield, Alberta spilled a mix of crude oil and produced water killing fish, squirrels, and amphibians.

The Alberta Energy Regulator responded to the spill when it happened and laid charges against Journey in 2019.
