I've been a cementing engineer most of my career, and I know there have been lots of meetings and discussions around revising Directive 9, but nothing ever seems to get done. But compared to other jurisdictions, at least we HAVE a directive in Alberta!
Certainly, any issue related to protecting aquifers has a lot more to do with the cementing operation than it does the fracturing operation. As mentioned in the thread, frac(k)ing gets a lot more of the press. Probably because it's chemicals. OMG CHEMICALS!!! Cement is something most people think they have a pretty good grasp of. No sinister evils there.
