Canada’s National Energy Board (NEB) launched an online, interactive pipeline incident map detailing all pipeline incidents in the country since 2008, the board said April 13.

Links to the map are available in English and French: http://www.neb-one.gc.ca/sftnvrnmnt/sft/dshbrd/mp/index-eng.html (English) and http://www.neb-one.gc.ca/sftnvrnmnt/sft/dshbrd/mp/index-fra.html (French).

"This new and interactive tool offers Canadians the ability to learn more about pipeline incidents and the companies involved. It also demonstrates the NEB's increasing commitment to transparency," Peter Watson, NEB’s chair, said.

The map has customizable filters and incident details including location, company and volumes of natural gas, liquids or other material released.

The map will be updated quarterly, and the next update is scheduled for July. Incident data might change over time, NEB said. As incident investigations are completed or new information becomes available, records are updated and will be reflected on the map.

The National Energy Board is an independent federal regulator of several parts of Canada’s energy industry. It is based in Calgary, Alberta.
