Note: Enter all 7 digits of a well licence, for example, B00000414X or 0234567. For facility licences, enter only the numeric portion of licence,for example, for F99999, enter 9999.
If you are amending a licence issued prior to 1996, the original licence information may not be available in the AER records. Contact the Facilities Application group for further assistance.
As an applicant, the following licence amendment conditions apply:
· You must be the licensee to file a well licence amendment application
· You must be able to demonstrate there are no outstanding concerns/objections to file a well licence amendment application
· You must file a well licence amendment application if any of the following information changes prior to spudding the well: surface rights (Freehold and Crown), mineral rights (Freehold and Crown), surface location, ground elevation, surface coordinates, total depth, bottomhole location, terminating formation, regulation section, well type, well purpose, schedule 4.3.
· You must file a well licence amendment application when re-entering an abandoned well, resuming drilling of a well after rig release, or deepening an existing well while the rig is on hole.

· You must file a well licence amendment application to change the bottomhole location prior to spudding the well.
Note: Bottomhole location changes after spud date are captured when you submit a directional survey.
If the category type is changing before the well is spud, request that the AER cancel the original licence and reapply for a new well licence. Consultation/notification must be completed for a new category type. Make any other required revisions to the licence in this section.
You must submit either a licence amendment or deepening application if you are drilling more than 150 m deeper than originally licensed or if the deepening will change the terminating formation.

If the category type does change, you must file a resumption application and complete 6. Re-entry/ resumption/ deepening of a well.
