Alberta well-licence registry — ~238k licences across Canada's #1 oil & gas producer.

What is Alberta Energy Regulator?

Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) public well-licence registry — about 238,000 licences spanning every status (Abandoned, Issued, Reclamation-Exempt/Certified, Suspension, Re-Entered). Search by operating company, licence status, fluid (gas, crude oil, crude bitumen, water, coalbed methane, etc.), Dominion Land Survey location (township/range/meridian), or bounding box, and look up a single licence by number. Alberta is Canada's largest oil & gas producer, so this fills the biggest Canadian coverage gap alongside the existing British Columbia connector. Toggle on and use — no setup needed.
