Cape Broyle Jet Perforating Gun Assembly Facility

Proponent: Baker Hughes Canada Company

Summary of Environmental Assessment Process

Project Description:

The proponent proposes to construct a jet perforating gun assembly facility north of the Town of Cape Broyle. The purpose of the undertaking is to assemble pre-fabricated components into “jet perforating guns” and store them locally for use by operators in the Newfoundland offshore oil and gas industry. The project will include the construction of a 300-metre access road from Route 210 to a storage yard where a gun-loading facility and Type 4 magazines for the storage of explosives will be built. Operations will include storage and handling of explosives, gun assembly, and shipping. No explosive devices will be detonated at the site location and the combustion of explosive material is not a part of the activities carried out at jet perforating gun assembly facilities.
