Alberta has removed the regulatory limit on natural gas flaring following instances where energy producers exceeded the provincial cap for two consecutive years. The decision by the Alberta Energy Regulator fulfills government instructions to reconsider outdated flaring policies due to increased oil production and new emission reduction strategies. Critics argue that this move does not address environmental concerns, as flaring contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. The policy change comes amid an expansion of oil production in the province.

The Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, in service since May 2024, has partially met expectations by significantly reducing the price differential for Canadian oil and enhancing market stability. While this has benefited Alberta's economy and the oil industry, there is debate over whether the considerable federal investment is justified. Indigenous ownership of the pipeline is still pending, and usage rates fall short of initial forecasts. The potential long-term benefits of diversification via this infrastructure remain uncertain.
