The spacing requirements illustrated here are as specified in the Oil and Gas Conservation Regulations sections indicated within square brackets alongside or underneath each measurement. No person shall smoke within 25 m of a well, separator, oil storage tank or other unprotected source of ignitable vapour or on a rig or derrick at a well site Section 8.120(1)]. No flame type equipment shall be placed or operated within 25 metres of any process vessels unless, where such is applicable, the flame type equipment is fitted with an adequate flame arrester [8.090(5)]. No flame type equipment shall be located in the same building as any process vessel or other source of ignitable vapour, unless a) the air intakes and flues of all burners are located outside the building, b) relief valves, safety heads, and other sources of ignitable vapours are vented outside the building and discharged above roof level, and c) the building is adequately cross ventilated [8.090(6)a,b,c]. Surface improvement means a railway, pipeline or other right-of-way, road allowance, surveyed roadway, dwelling, industrial plant, aircraft runway or taxiway, building used for military purposes, permanent farm building, school or church [1.020(1)28]. Compressors (electrically or engine driven) that are permanent and housed in a building must be located 25 m from wells, oil storage tanks, or unprotected sources of ignitable vapours. Compressors that are nonpermanent (on wheels or skid mounted) must be placed such that the air intakes and exhaust must be no closer than 6 m from a well. Nonpermanent electrically driven compressors must comply with the current edition of Code for Electrical Installations at Oil and Gas Facilities, Safety Codes Council (Alberta).
