Use EAS Schedule 4 to apply for a well licence application for
1. a new oil, gas, or crude bitumen well
2. a water well > 150 m
3. a new disposal or injection well
4. re-entering a well
5. resuming drilling operations after original rig release
6. an evaluation well or test hole
7. a coalbed methane well
8. drilling a well through a potential hydrocarbon zone for any other purpose
9. amending a previously issued well licence prior to spud or rig release
10. deepening an existing well while the rig is on hole
11. changing an oil sands evaluation well to a production well (if within 30 day of drilling)
Depending on the project, you must submit one Schedule 1 (Applicant General Information) along with one or more of the following schedules:
· Schedule 4 Well licence application
· Schedule 4.1 Well working interest participants
· Schedule 4.2 Multi-well pad location
· Schedule 4.3 Well H2S information
Note: For wells that will be drilled deeper than 150 m to supply water for domestic or stock watering purposes, a well licence application is required. Please contact AER Facilities Applications for details and instruction.
A project is defined as a network of facilities, pipelines, and/or wells that connect to a common facility. A project submission may consist of a single licence application or of multiple licence applications of related facilities, pipelines, and wells.
To file a project submission, you must:
1. submit the application under one company name using one Schedule 1 - Applicant General Information
2. fulfill all applicable regulatory requirements, including participant involvement requirements (Directive 056, Section 2), prior to filing a new application for a project for which a licence has expired.
Due to the complexity of some developments, it is possible that you may not be able to act on a licence before the expiry date. If licence expiry is imminent, contact Facilities Applications for advice on how best to proceed.
