Multi-Licensed Site Reclamation Liability Reduction

Overview

A licensee with multiple well or facility licences that exist on a common built area within a single surface lease may qualify for a reduction in the reclamation liability associated with the given well and/or facility licences under the Licensee Liability Rating (LLR) Program.

Guidance

A licensee can apply to the ministry for a reduction in the reclamation liability associated with non-abandoned well and facility licences that are located on a single surface lease.

Please note that the ministry may deny the application if it is determined that the remaining liability would be insufficient to cover the reclamation costs for the land area.

Effective June 21, 2024, licences holding a current reclamation liability of $5,100 or less will not be eligible for the 10% reduction under this application.

Eligibility

Before submitting a Multi-Licensed Site Reclamation Liability Reduction application, you must:

  • Have an Integrated Resource Information System (IRIS) account and the appropriate permissions assigned by your IRIS Security Administrator.
  • Be the registered licensee of the well or facility site in IRIS.
  • Obtain your most recent Licensee Liability Inventory Report and ensure the licences are eligible for this application:
    • Reclamation Liability column associated with the licence is greater than $0.
    • Well Status and Facility Infrastructure Status columns are not "Abandoned," "Cancelled" or "Decommissioned."
    • Problem Site column does not display Potential, Unassessed, Assessed or Non-Compliance.
    • Surface Location column is typically the same for all licences within the application, however, it is acceptable for the common built area, within a single surface lease, to extend over multiple land locations.

How to Apply

To apply for a reduction in the reclamation liability of a multi-licensed site, the licensee must:

  1. Ensure the eligibility criteria are met and you know the relevant well and facility licences for the application.
  2. Obtain the most recent well/facility licence survey from IRIS and prepare the document:
    • Identify the boundary of the shared surface in red.
    • Use an arrow to clearly indicate the well centre and facility location in the application and label it with the corresponding licence number.
    • Where available, include the survey page that defines the total size of the AREAS (Well Site, Facility Site and Access Road) along with any revisions to those areas.
    • Save as PDF document with no security applied and the pages orientated so they can be read easily on a computer screen.
  3. Obtain the most recent available aerial imagery (from Google Earth, GeoAtlas, drone image, etc) and prepare the document:
    • Identify the boundary of the shared surface in red (should match the survey).
    • Add a title at the top of the page which identifies the date and source of the aerial imagery obtained along with the date the imagery represents, if known.
    • Save as PDF document with no security applied and the pages orientated so they can be read easily on a computer screen.
  4. Login to IRIS and complete the Multi-Licensed Site Reclamation Liability Reduction application process. For step-by-step details of how to complete the Multi-Licensed Site Reclamation Liability Reduction application process in IRIS see Liability Management at the User Learning Centre.
    • Note: The application will auto populate with the current reclamation liability of each licence entered and calculate the proposed reduction based on the licence you select to retain the full reclamation liability for the area.

The applicant will be notified of the ministry's decision through IRIS. On approval, the reclamation liability associated with the licence would be adjusted in IRIS, where applicable, and reflected in the Licensee Liability Inventory report (available in IRIS).
