Algeria inks oil deal with China's Sinopec
Algeria's state oil operator Sonatrach has signed a framework agreement with China's Sinopec for the development of its hydrocarbon resources. Sonatrach said the head of agreement is intended to outline the 'framework of cooperation' between the two sides to conclude hydrocarbon accords. The planned deals will cover interests located in the basins of Gourara in Southwest Algeria and East Berkine in the Northeast. 'They will also ultimately assess and develop hydrocarbon resources in the relevant zones,' Sonatrach said in a statement. 'As part of this Head Of Agreement, the parties will notably, discuss over the work programme, in order to agree on the evaluation and exploitation of these resources, by integrating the best practices for the preservation of the environment and a responsible exploitation of natural resources,' it added. Sonatrach, one of the world's largest gas exporters, said the new deal reflects the willingness of both sides to bolster their existing relationship and expand cooperation through new partnership opportunities in hydrocarbons exploration and development. It noted that Sinopec's presence in Algeria dates back to 2002 and the company operates with Sonatrach the Zarzaïtine field under the framework of a contract of association focusing on hydrocarbon recovery and development of this field. Sinopec is also Sonatrach' partner under the hydrocarbon's agreement signed on 25 February for exploration and development of the Hassi Berkane perimeter.

Spill at Leamy Lake Beach in Gatineau, Que. ‘under control': NCC
A sign informs swimmers that swimming is prohibited at Leamy Lake Beach in Gatineau, Que. following a spill earlier this week. (Peter Szperling/CTV News Ottawa) You can now go canoeing, kayaking and paddleboarding at Leamy Lake Park Beach, but swimming is still prohibited following a substance spill in the lake in Gatineau, Que. The National Capital Commission closed Leamy Lake Park Beach on Tuesday due to a hydrocarbon spill in the water. Mitigation measures were put in place to limit the spill, including a boom barrier that absorbs the product. Late Thursday afternoon, the NCC said the spill is 'now under control' and the product has been absorbed. Leamy Lake The National Capital Commission says a spill in the water at Leamy Lake Park Beach is 'now under control.' Water activities are allowed to resume, but swimming remains prohibited. (Peter Szperling/CTV News Ottawa) Water activities are allowed to resume in Leamy Lake, but swimming remains prohibited due to poor water quality. 'In collaboration with our local and provincial partners, we investigated the source of the hydrocarbon spill in Leamy Lake,' the NCC said. 'Nothing observed on site allows the source of the product found on the surface of the water to be clearly identified. Investigators believe, however, that the quantity of the substance, which was minimal, does not pose a danger to human health.' The swimming ban remains in effect due to the latest water quality test results at Leamy Lake Beach, according to the NCC. 'The laboratory will conduct new samples daily until the swimming water reaches a rating of A, B, or C after which the beach will reopen,' the NCC said. A hydrocarbon spill typically refers to oil or petroleum products, such as gasoline or diesel fuel, spilling into the water. With files from CTV News Ottawa's Ted Raymond

Lac Leamy deemed safe after mystery spill, NCC says
Social Sharing The National Capital Commission (NCC) says Lac Leamy is safe after a mysterious and unspecified hydrocarbon spill earlier this week, but high E. Coli counts are keeping the beach closed for swimming Friday. On Tuesday, the NCC closed the Gatineau, Que., beach for swimming and recommended against other uses while it investigated and contained what the province called a "hydrocarbon sheen" on the water. Hydrocarbons can include fuels such as gasoline, although motorized boats aren't permitted on Lac Leamy. In a news release Thursday, the NCC said the substance has now been absorbed and investigators believe the spill was not dangerous to humans. "Nothing observed on site allows the source of the product found on the surface of the water to be clearly identified," the commission said. However, regular water quality testing has shown high E. Coli levels, so swimming at Lac Leamy is still prohibited until further notice.
