Petroleum and natural gas tenure in Alberta

Description

This publication describes the development of the current system used by the Government of Alberta under which the private sector acquires tenure to Crown petroleum and natural gas rights. It is written for petroleum and natural gas administrators, academic institutions and for anyone interested in the principles and policies under which Alberta Energy interacts with industry. It should be read in the context of the Mines and Minerals Act, Petroleum and Natural Gas Tenure Regulation and other associated regulations, and the Information Letters and Bulletins published by Alberta Energy. The Mines and Minerals Act and the associated regulations remain the authority for any administrative and regulatory procedure. The information contained in this publication is of an explanatory nature, and is intended to provide an overview of Alberta’s petroleum and natural gas tenure system. It covers the period from 1930, when the province assumed control of its natural resources, until 2016.
