Alberta’s Private Surface Agreements Registry

The Faculty of Law and the Canadian Institute of Resources Law invite you to attend a free public lecture on Alberta’s Private Surface Agreements Registry. The Private Surface Agreements Registry was created under the Responsible Energy Development Act and came into force in 2013. It allows landowners to request the intervention of the Alberta Energy Regulator if they feel that a company is not meeting a term or condition of a registered agreement. If the Alberta Energy Regulator determines that the company is not in compliance with the registered agreement, it can issue an order to comply. This session looks at (i) the process to register an agreement, (ii) the eligibility requirements, (iii) the legal effects of an order to comply, (iv) the main issues concerning registered agreements, and (v) other tools available to the landowners who may have a disagreement with an oil and gas operator on their land. Giorilyn Bruno, CIRL Research Fellow, will be the lecturer. This event is sponsored by the Alberta Law Foundation.
