The Board is moving its office on March 25, 2019
Introduction
The Board assists in resolving disputes between landowners and companies
that require access to private land to explore for, develop, or produce
Crown-owned subsurface resources such as oil, gas, coal, minerals and
geothermal. We assist with disputes about:
| 1. | Terms of entry onto land: The Board may authorize entry to private land to explore for, produce or develop subsurface resources.
|
| 2. | Compensation: the amount to be paid to the landowner for a company’s entry, occupation and use of private land.
|
| 3. | Damages: the compensation that should be paid for damage to the land or adjacent land, or loss caused by an entry.
|
| 4. | Rent Renegotiation: new rental provisions in a surface lease.
|
| 5. | Compliance:
- whether the terms of a surface lease or right of entry have been complied with; or
- whether the proposed oil and gas activity in a surface lease is different from what was approved by the Oil and Gas Commission
