   PRACTICE ADVISORY GROUP
      OVERVIEW
In January 2002, the Oil and Gas Practice Advisory Group (PAG) was launched as a joint initiative between the OGC and the oil and gas industry. PAG initially consisted of 40 volunteers representing the industry, clients, and government. Since then, this group has evolved and expanded to 60 members.

The PAG structure consists of a steering committee and eight sub-committees. Each sub-committee has a Chairman and a maximum of eight members, as well as an unlimited number of associate members. The sub-committees are responsible for addressing relevant issues, concerns, suggestions, and recommendations submitted to PAG. The sub-committees develop issue papers for submission to the Commission.

The sub-committees are as follows:

Community Relations, Archaeology, First Nations and Dispute Resolutions
Surface and Environment
Seismic
Well drilling, Completions, Operations and Maintenance
Pipeline Design and Construction
Facilities Design and Construction
Pipeline and Facilities Operations and Maintenance
Pipeline and Equipment Systems Integrity

The OGC commits to implementing 80% of the recommendations made by PAG.
