oil leaking into cold lake
Have a look at this, apparently 1.8 million liters of oil has leaked into cold lake.
Have a read for yourself

They pressurized their steam to high and broke the cap rock so the path of least resistance is upwards. Bad bad situation and nearly impossible to fix.

Yes its true, there is oil leaking into Cold Lake.. Out of all the FAT Lake Trout... Being serious, CNRL over injected steam in a SAGD field which over pressurized the Formation causing oil to come to surface( very shallow Formation there.. 350-400m TVD) it flowed into a small non fish bearing lake. CNRL has( by Order) drained the lake as part of the clean up, and supposedly will refill it this spring, as it was home for alot of waterfowl. Very bad situation... And Thankfully it did not afect Cold Lake Directly. The Oilfield activity is not located in proximity to Cold Lake.

Not into cold lake but near cold lake in various areas.
Fracing to the surface?

Not fracking, but similar. Unintentionally broke the cap rock

That's what they are doing I'm that area and it had been done safely by lots of other companies. I'm not sure what caused the leak and won't guess but whatever happened it's definitely bad news. Hope they get it fixed soon.
